		Dance is thus contrasted to objectively purposeful, pedestrian movement such as walking, hammering, typing, etc. Dance movement is often, though not always, (http://encyclozine.com/Rhythm,rhythmic).

		The dances done in the typical Regency ballroom were versions of earlier English country dances brought to the court by Queen Elizabeth I and made much more staid and proper in the process.
		Luckily, the pattern sequence of the typical Regency dance was also not as varied as a square dance, usually comprising between six to twelve figures repeated until the music ended.
		Most of the country dances that were introduced to court were danced in long lines, men down one side of the room and women down the other, approximately four feet apart.

		English country dancing was as orderly and symmetrical as the landscape and architecture of the period.
		Dancing offered a man and a woman the opportunity not only to touch each other with a frequency that was otherwise not permitted, but also to communicate in other ways.
		It is interesting, however, to contrast the propriety of the chaste touch in the dance with the gown a lady might wear--a filmy India muslin, with a neckline cut to display her assets as a marriageable female.

		In the recent BBC Pride and Prejudice, for example, Elizabeth and Darcy's dance at the Netherfield Ball was both illuminating (I finally understood what "going down the dance" means), and a perfectly choreographed enactment both of the complexities of their relationship and of the intricacies of Regency society.
		The cotillion and the country dance, restrained as they may seem, represented a refreshing break away from the courtly French dances of the Baroque; the latter not only required an almost balletic technique, but were also danced by only one couple at a time.
		The remainder of the 19th century saw the irresistible force of the new "round" dances (waltz, polka, redowa) clash with the immovable object of evangelical morality---until the wild new dances of the 20th century made the waltz seem sedate by comparison.

		I was then, as another hobby, teaching folk dancing (which I still do); perhaps with enough eggnog, the connection between village dances of the Balkan Peninsula and aristocratic dances of England, two centuries earlier, seemed obvious.
		Regency ladies wore what is now called the Empire-line gown (that's the Empire of Napoleon, ptoo ptoo ptoo); gentlemen looked like the man on a bottle of Johnnie Walker scotch.
