The 3 dances below are all 32 bar outside foot starting sequences so you can, if you like, dance them back-to-back, and, if you like, you can add into the combination the 32 bar 'Loose Cannon Galop' (Winter 7 in the Lost Dances of Earthly Delights), the 16 bar (twice through) 'Pyrotechnic Polka' (Autumn 1 in the Lost Dances of Earthly Delights) and the 16 bar (twice through) 'Drive the Cold Winter Away (in The Christmas Carol Dance Book). You would want to think twice before adding into such a combination one of the l.f. starting cross hold Courtship Polka (Autumn 13 in the Lost Dances of Earthly Delight) or a polka version of any of the same foot cross hold waltzes.

 

Our apologies for the temporary removal of the dance instructions from this page. The instructions that were on this page were only sketchy working editions of dances for which you can now find corrected versions, with full historical notes and accompanying music, in the work The Lost Dances of Earthly Delights Volume 2. Although we hope to get around to putting the up-dated versions back up on the web it may not be for some time and we hope you will take the opportunity that now presents to acquire the definte version of these dances in the beautiful hard copy book and 4 CD set that is now available. Please go to http://www.earthlydelights.com.au/cds2.htm for more information, order form and contents summary.
