One of the great things about Jane Austen films is the dance scenes! Here I've included my favorites!
Pride and Prejudice (1995): Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy Dance
Love this scene! It's probably one of my favorite scenes from Pride and Prejudice. It's very brilliantly done. You have a dance (which looks complex) and while that's going on, you have Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy verbally sparring. It's very interesting to watch.
Pride and Prejudice (1995): The Mr. Collins Dance
3:15 - 5:00 Another Pride and Prejudice Dance that I love. I love that it's so bouncy and happy... Plus Mr. Collins dancing is just funny!
Starts at 6:00. Sure, this scene isn't accurate to the book (if I remember correctly, Robert Ferrars wasn't at the ball, and Elinor didn't dance with Willoughby), but I still like it. The song that plays is one of my favorites in the Sense and Sensibility Soundtrack.
Emma: The Town Square and The Ship's Cook
Love these songs and dances! Probably The Ship's Cook is my favorite (which starts at 3:15), but I also love The Town Square. They're both such light-hearted songs and I could listen to them for a really long time! Plus, this is also a really good scene from Emma. I love the part when Mr. Knightley "saves" Harriet.
Northanger Abbey: First Dance
Ends at 2:40. This is the dance after Catherine first meets Mr. Tilney. I kind of like the music and the dance, but it is a little different from the book (at least to my memory). Both J.J. Field and Felicity Jones acted wonderfully in this dance scene!
Those are my favorite dance numbers. Which ones are you favorites? Are there any that you would have included in here? Leave a comment!
God Bless,
