Item Description When Skinner was a dancing master, Quadrille Lancers were widely taught and danced. They had come to Britain from France early in the nineteenth century. As a composer and dancing master, Skinner was in the ideal situation of being able to create not only music that was ideal for certain dances, but good enough and popular enough to sell to a wider audience. Lancers is a dance in five parts. Part four is an arrangement of 'Donald', preceeded by Skinner's own introduction.
