Trip to Paris

Trip to Paris is an English Country Dance first published in Walsh of 1711 and adapted by Douglas & Helen Kennedy in 1929. Found in “The Playford Ball“. It is a proper duple minor longways dance. The tune was published with the dance. It was performed by Bare Necessities (Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Peter Barnes, and Jacqueline Schwab) on the album “More Favorites of the Boston Centre“. It is used with permission of Country Dance Society, Boston Centre, Inc. The animation plays at 116 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.
