- This dance has become very popular following the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth. The Chestnut dancers follow Pat Shaw's version who went back to the Henry Playford's description with only one B melody.Pat asked for the first couple turning inward and I went a step further with second couple turning outward and holding out easy hand.It works !! Although we are dancing in our Regency Clothes in the magnificent castle of Neuville, we do know that it is unlikely that Jane Austen would have danced Mr Beveridge's Maggot, nor Hole in the Wall for that matter. These two dances were edited respectively in 1695 and 1698.
Cette vidéo nous montre dansant deux danses éditées par Henry Playford dans un château près de Paris.Nos costumes Regency sont anachroniques : il est en effet peu vraisemblable que Jane Austen ait dansé des danses de 1695 et 1698. Mais pour autant l'ensemble fonctionne ! nous suivons l'interprétation de Pat Shaw qui est revenu aux prescriptions du Dancing Master concernant le nombre de phrases musicales et j'ai un peu renchéri sur ses proposition.
The most charming era in history! The dancers do an amazing job
Thank you very much for this very kind comment
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.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting
Too lovely. Dancing with precision and perfect execution.
This is indeed what we try to do : dancing with precision so as to make the most of the music. Thank you for your nice words
This is my kind of ball - love the charming music and stately, graceful dance figures!💕💕💕
C est magnifique
Quelle belle époque !
Wonderful. The dancing is exceptional and the presentation dazzling.
Thank you very much for these very encouraging words
Thank you very much for your comment.
I love hole in the wall n the music bring me there...
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...
Thank you Iain, you are quite right too. Interpretations may differ but have to be coherent. Thank you for your nice words
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.
Thank you for your comment. There is indeed space for interpretation.
Beautiful!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting

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
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.
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
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
