The Hole Thing

A favourite dance of my friends in the Arizona Regency And Victorian Society -- and one that will also be featured at the coming ball -- is "Hole In The Wall."

I was heartened to find this was also one of George Washington's favourites as well. And what dance celebrating Jane Austen would be complete without it?

Here it is danced in Becoming Jane. I have featured this clip before, but this version improves the orchestration.

Such a beautiful dance... so beautiful that a group of four students recreated it for an English project, right in the comfort of the living room:

Perhaps we should call this version "Hole In The Sofa," but who is complaining?
