The Duke of Kent's Waltz is an English Country Dance first published in W. M. Cahusac's Annual Collection of 1801. Adapted by Simons in 1970. Found in The Playford Ball, and included in the article "A Trip to Netherfield" in the Playford Assembly.. It is a proper duple minor dance.
The Duke of Kent was the fourth son (5th child) of George III of England. He never became king, but his daughter became Queen Victoria who ruled from 1837-1901. He was unmarried when this dance was written.
He served in the military in Canada from roughly 1791-1800, and was appointed Duke of Kent in 1799.
The tune was published by Cahusac with the dance. It was performed by Bare Necessities (Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Peter Barnes, and Jacqueline Schwab) on the album "A Playford Ball". It is used with permission of Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, Inc. www.cds-boston...
The animation plays at 130 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the figures more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color will change each time through the minor set.
