I am reading Marie Bashkirtseff diaries and on June 28, 1875 they “danced Sir Roger de Coverly, played a lot of innocent games and laughed like happy children.” So nice to come here 147 years later (!) and see what she was talking about. Thank you!

I've been listening to Sir Derek Jacobi narrating Ellis Peters' 'The Year of the Danes'. One of the characters was Bishop Roger de Clinton. My mind did one of its strange connections and 'Sir Roger de Coverley' took its place. It looks similar to some of the Scottish Country Dances I enjoyed when much younger although I would be hard-pressed to recall their names now.

This dance was the standard way of bringing a ball to an end at the time of Thomas Wilson, impeccably danced here, as always, by Chestnut. It is great fun to do, and even more so if the dancers can sustain the overlapping 'perpetual motion' style of the opening figure, so clearly demonstrated in this video. It's worth noting that Wilson's original calls for an 'allemande', here interpreted reasonably enough by an allemande turn. However, Wilson had his own idea of what an 'allemande' was (see p. 12, The Complete System of English Country Dancing, Wilson 1815) and it seems to have been very similar to a back-to-back, which is in fact how the dance is normally performed these days.

This brought back unhappy memories of dancing at Clapham Manor School. Everytime it rained, we were denied the pleasure of playing outside. Instead it was folk dancing partnered by a boy i couldn't stand because his surname was alphabetically next to mine in the register.

You have my commiserations. I speak from the other side of the fence since I frequently was partnered with a girl who just could not keep the dance steps in her head. It made for a most unpleasant period of its duration.

Well, I followed the version of the CD "Understanding Victorian Society through dance" but I do agree with their proposal. Sir Roger was known as the "Finishing Dance" in the Regency era and after.It is one of the very few dances that dancing master Thomas Wilson describes in two of his books, including his "Complete system". It was supposed to be a great favorite that ended balls and a sort of romp to finish off the evening.
