Hi Ken,
The oldest dance I do is Trenchmore – goes back to at least 1551. See

Thanks. John, for those references.
I'm untrigued and appreciative also when I see well-represented period social dancing
in movies and TV shows. The specific example in mind is in Pride and Prejudice (Keira
Knightley iteration) which actually seemed to spend enough time in a wide frame to
actually discern the entire dance.
Maybe there are other similar examples.
Cheers
