This is the Grand March. A Civil War ball begins with everyone marching around and around the dance floor - to get a good look at one another, presumably. Hoop skirts swish and swirl, boots clump, and the anticipation builds.
Clara and Hannah.
This was the clapping dance - great fun. It's like this one in Pride & Prejudice:

And this one is a fan dance. Not the naughty kind of fan dance. To the left of this picture are two long lines of people. The dancer with the fan hands it to one of the two seated dancers, who then waits a round and hands it off the next time. The other seated dancer, (me) gets up and dances down the line with the first dancer.
Like this!
