Say it with us

Highly quotable.

A gentleman does not conga.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a genteel gathering, Caroline and Elizabeth Bennet question Mr Darcy about his refusal to join the conga. He defends his social standing and dismisses the other dancers, including Elizabeth’s father. When pressed about his own abilities, Darcy reveals a talent for freestyle disco and gives the room an incongruous demonstration.

The people who made it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Darcy’s dance is accompanied by a period-style instrumental arrangement of Britney Spears’s “...Baby One More Time.”

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
