Les Lanciers

Widespread though it was throughout Europe, Les Lanciers became less fashionable by the beginning of the 20th century.

It has survived as a popular dance in Denmark to the present day,[1] having been introduced from England in 1860.

From the bourgeoisie of Copenhagen it spread through dancing schools in provincial towns and through the landed gentry.

[2] It is danced at court,[3] at many university and school gaudies, and at private functions.

The Kitchen lancers was a more boisterous version of the dance that was popular in the early 20th century.
