Mostly questions. Curious about the other pictures. is there a specific dance for them as I can see that picture 2 is a Scottish sword dance.
Picture 10 is Plains, Lakota but what they are doing don't look like anything I have seen. 18- looks like fox trot 19- Lindy hop? 20- Square dance? which was an American spinoff of the cotillion or perhaps a Virginia Reel. 21- (specific) Polka? 17 looks to be Swiss or Norweigian anyone know for sure which? 14, is that Baverian or Ukraine? what is 5? the angle makes it difficult to see, Balinese? Thank you, De -----Original Message----- I also need help with the photos 18-21. The curator said that these were titled "Four Corners of American-born Dances." He told me that photos 18 & 19 dates represented but I can't recall the dances. I am not really sure that I have the dates correct for photos 20 & 21. And again, do not recall the dances. I had one hour to photograph the ballroom ceiling because I was running out of time and had to photograph around tour groups. This is a popular area of the mansion and is one of the first areas that the tour groups access. I didn't even have time to take notes. When I was photographing this room, I had a couple of hours before catching my flight home. I spent a week photographing other areas of the museum. Thankfully the photos turned out good. If you are able to answer my questions, please refer to the photo number on the slideshow headers in your answer. The slideshow can be seen at http://www.costumegallery.info/ . Please make sure to use .INFO and not .COM . When you go to the slideshow, make sure to click on the enlarged view...it looks like the number 7 on the right side of the menu. Many, many thanks in advance for your help.
