End of Summer Ball - Dancing Videos II

Well, thanks to Rachelle Howard, I have a few more dancing videos I can post from the End of Summer Ball last month.  I'd made a previous post with a few videos, but now I've also uploaded the Duke of Kent's Waltz, Trip to Town O (though we really didn't go anywhere), Auretti's Dutch Skipper, The Ragg, Yellow Stockings, and the Virginia Reel.
I'll also be posting "Lovely Nancy" and...drumroll...video of the "Sparrow Waltz" or "Pirates Waltz" or "Capt Jack's Waltz" or whatever it's called!

Oh, great.  Guess what's in my head now...


Duke of Kent's Waltz




Trip to Town O





Auretti's Dutch Skipper

 

But, I'll be true...

 The Ragg

 

...to the song I sing...

Yellow Stockings


   

...and live and die...

...a pirate king!

For he is a pirate king

Hurrah for our pirate king!

And it is, it is a glorious thing

To be a pirate king!

Disclaimer: I no way endorse or condone the highly illegal endeavors of unscrupulous maritime captains who "sink a few more ships that a well bred monarch ought to do."  

However, when you've once heard Gilbert and Sullivan it's hard to clean your mind of it.

The Duke of Kent’s Waltz
The last dance of the evening was the very elegant, "Duke of Kent's Waltz."
