Calling something a Quadrille doesn't necessarily make it a Quadrille. To me the King's Quadrille is just a modern American square dance. It doesn't have the styling or the moves or the length/complexity of a Quadrille (e.g. I don't believe that courtesy turns existed in the period when Quadrilles were danced). The only commonality is that it is done by four couples in a Square. On checking, I find that I have the following in my deck: Festival Quadrille The Hawk Quadrille Buffalo Quadrille Camille's Quadrille Queen's Quadrille (same as King's but the moves are straight across instead of to the right) - also known as "The Quiet Square" Easy Does it Quadrille Knave's Quadrille Karen's Quadrille Western Quadrille Wardwell Quadrille Colonial's Quadrille Farmer's Quadrille Hmm... I hadn't realised that there were so many! But they are all just square dances. None of them bear any resemblance to an actual Quadrille. A few like Western Quadrille are based on one figure of an actual Quadrille, but with modern styling. It’s a nice word and sounds good in a dance title. :-)             Happy dancing,                    John John Sweeney, Dancer, England   john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://contrafusion.co.uk/KentCeilidhs.html for Live Music Ceilidhs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive DVDs
