The Duke of Kent's Waltz is an English Country Dance first published in W. M. Cahusac's Annual Collection of 1801. It is a triple duple minor dance. This is my interpretation after reading the original description copied in “The Playford Ball“ (and after looking at the interpretation on the Regency Dance site . 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 animation plays at 1 bar per second 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
