Victorian Era Dances: Sir Roger de Coverley

The Stately Vintage Dancers preforming the Sir Roger de Coverley at Oakland Cemetery during the “Sunday in the Park“ Event. The Sir Roger de Coverley came into fashion in the Courts of Queen Elizabeth I. This dance was then brought over to America, simplified, and called the Virginia Reel. The Sir Roger de Coverley is the dance that is done in “Gone with the Wind“ when Scarlett O’Hara dances with Rhett Butler in her widows weeds. Quite scandalous! Support Me on Ko-fi:
