Cotillon website
These detailed website pages are created by Moira Goff, a self-described "baroque dance specialist." They document her research into various dances of the period with a special look at the cotillon, originally a two-couple dance form (later four couples) developed by French dancing masters in the early to mid-18th century.
Amond the topics she addresses:
- Dances for Four: Le Cotillon (1705)
- Fundamental Steps of the Cotillon
- Dancing the Cotillon: the changes
- The Cotillon Becomes Fashionable
- The Cotillon Arrives in London
- Teaching the Cotillon
- The Cotillon Ball
The entry on the Cotillon Ball includes this:
===
The St James’s Chronicle for 16-18 February 1768 included a poem satirising this ultra-fashionable dance.
This was one of many such jibes – a sure indication of the dance’s overwhelming popularity.
