In her last book of dances, Serendipity, Fried Herman writes about the character of the dance.
“Do English Country dances give much pleasure? Yes, most of them do. The ones that are boring—in tune and/or movements—tend to be forgotten after some time. However, that does not mean that all English Country dances give us the same kind of pleasure.

“The next step up are dances—again, with good tunes—with a bit more meat in them. Something into which we can sink our teeth. Think of Another Nancy’s Fancy, Mr Beveridge’s Maggot, Face the Music Sion House, Up with Ailey. To dance these dances, we need a bit more understanding of how the tune and movements fit together.
