Apley House ~ Playford Ball

Apley House is an English Country Dance first published in Playford in 1702. It was adapted by Cecil Sharp in 1922 (and modified slightly). It is a proper duple minor dance. Found in The Playford Ball. The music, also called Apley House, was performed by Brett Larsen. The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves 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 may change each time through the minor set.
