Reconstructed by JN and named from Pride and Prejudice
movie 2005 version. This is clearly a conceit created to
give enough time for dialogue, particularly in the
extremely long down and back. However, it is a nice
looking dance, even if very difficult to phrase comfortably.
Comments on the DVD suggest it took over 5 hours to shoot,
on top of rehearsal, and there was a lot of editing after.
It is unfortunate that the film shows practically only the
head and shoulders of the protagonists – the rest of the
dancers are hard to see – indeed they are “deleted” for
the last round of the dance!
Note: There is a triple minor version by Philippe Callens 1990 for Moniek van Hylfe
