It is amazing dance and lovely settings. I really enjoy watching elegant kadues and gentlemen recreating true environment of that epoch. I remember tales of my late granny about past times when I spent long dark evenings in her company and watching this dance bring to my memory these evenings.
Very nicely danced. We also dance the Maggot slightly differently, using a Hole in the Wall turn followed by right hand turn with neighbour then left with partner, but there are no specific instructions with this early (pre-Regency) Playford dance.
Not for the initial cross, but Playford did give explicit instructions for the hands later: "1. man turn the 2 wo. with his right hand, and the 1. wo. turn the 2. man with her right hand at the same time, then 1. cu. take left hands and turn into their own places" (from the 1695 edition of The English Dancing Master). But live and let live!
Lovely! The dancing, the costumes, the music, and the setting. Mr Beveridge shows some differences in detail from what is ingrained in my muscle memory, but that's just as it should be. How boring if all interpretations were to be the same...
The Hole in the Wall music is the hornpipe from the incidental music Henry Purcell wrote for the play "Abdelazer". I don't know where the Mr Beveridge's Maggot music is from.
Completely anachronistic. Written by James (Jaques) Paisible and Henry Purcell respectively, these dances were published in 1695 and 1698 . There is absolutely no way that they would have still been danced in an era when fashionable novelty was at a premium. But congratulations to the arranger, who had the effrontery to "improve on" Purcell's harmonizations.
I t does not seem useful to repeat what we already mentioned in the caption accompanying the video which it seems that you have not cared to read before writing this unpleasant and rude comment. We do know that Regency dancers would have chosen other dancers and we have a playlist devoted to this period. As for the music, you should address your grievance to the Assembly Players for this video but also to the countless bands which have recorded this tune ! Chestnut is very grateful to The Assembly Players for their work for the dancers, We do not always agree with their biais but their recordings are useful nonetheless.
Maybe they thought it was oldfashion in higher societies at that time. But it du ordnat mean they never danced it. In my country We still dance older dances that was popular hundreds of years ago. Because people still like them
Кошмар. Как это можно все запомнить? Если-бы я жила тогда в этой среде,то сидела-бы в углу на лавочке. Никогда не запомнила-бы всех этих поворотов и разворотов. Но красиво. Сейчас танцы легче,стой себе и дергайся

Thank you Iain, you are quite right too. Interpretations may differ but have to be coherent. Thank you for your nice words

What is the mame of this charming an ancient music?
Please response me
As indicated in the title it is two country dance linked : Mr B's Maggot and The Hole in the Wall
The Hole in the Wall music is the hornpipe from the incidental music Henry Purcell wrote for the play "Abdelazer". I don't know where the Mr Beveridge's Maggot music is from.
Hall in the Wall is my favourite one...
indeed both dances give equally pleasure to dancers and public!Thank you for watching

Dit soort dansen, leerde wy al in de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw, maar dan in versneld tempo, in Amsterdams Buurt huis!😅
The music should not be too fast as it is an English hornpipe;We use a recording by the Assembly Players who play it well, at least for us
contredance woooow!
Thanks
