Those Wonderful Dances from Bygone Days~

I absolutely love 18th and 19th century dance scenes in period movies.  And no one does them better than the British.   So romantic and beautiful, and did I mention romantic?  Some of the best dance scenes are in the various films based on Jane Austen novels, but there are many, many others.  There's a delightful one in Miss Potter and Becoming Jane.  The Young Victoria is a visual feast...I'm drawn to these scenes like a moth to a flame.  Sigh.  Why can't we still dance like that today?
