Russia - At the end of the 1800s, Russian gentry imported dance instructors from Western Europe to help them become more continental. Such is the inspiration for this peasant spoof on the affectations of their own nobility. Familiar western dance motifs are seen in this humorous satire, the "Russian City Quadrilles".
