The story of popular dancing A series of five programmes
1: The Roots of the Matter
How did our social dancing begin; why did we dance to the waltz, the foxtrot and the hustle - and what happened before the waltz?
The first programme in this series traces the origins of western dancing from the ancient carole through to the dances of medieval times and four great dances of Queen Elizabeth's Court - particularly the galliard, for which we were famous throughout Europe.
