  MIXED PICKLES' Vintage Dance Timeline - 19th C
The dances that were popular at the beginning of the 19th century were those that had been popular at the end of the 18th century; the Minuet, Cotillions, and Country Dances.
Round dances included the Waltz, in its original form "à trois temps," or in a newer form as the Two-Step Waltz "à deux temps," the Five-Step Waltz, the Polka, which had arrived in the 1840's, and the Schottische and Galop which became popular soon after.
Dance cards and programs of the period show that most dances and balls of the period consisted almost entirely of waltzes and two-steps.
