Victorian afternoon?

Yesterday, at the Riverview School in Sandwich, I taught the Waltz which was a new and scandalous dance in Victorian times. The experience of dance hold was new and scandalous still, to some.
It didn't seem Victorian at all in the modern gym with the kids in blue jeans and t-shirts. We changed partners with the Family Waltz, and then I let them dance more freely with Merengue.
Maybe they noticed the difference when I put on a full length skirt to review the Waltz box.
I would be interested to see how the Victorian Tea works out next week. Can they approximate the milieu that influenced everyone's behavior?
