Okay Kari, you win :-D
Thanks for the tip, here's a YouTube video of Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy talking about dancing in the 18th century. I've seen the interview with Anne before in Film 2006, but I have not seen James talking about the dance. And oh my God... his accent is soooo sexy!
Enjoy, Ladies and Gents!

Jon Spence,
McAvoy knew his portrait of Tom could only come alive with the right Jane, and he found Anne Hathaway almost supernaturally suited for the part. “I don’t think we could have chosen anyone better to play Jane Austen," he says.
Jane Austen’s greatest love story was her own
‘I’m yours, Jane, heart and soul!’
~ Tom Lefroy to Jane Austen, ‘Becoming Jane’
Anything is to be preferred or endured rather than marrying without affection – JA,
Nothing can be compared to the misery of being bound without Love, bound to one, & preferring another – JA,
To be so bent on marriage, to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation – is a sort of thing that shocks me.
The film Becoming Jane has given us an image of Jane Austen that liberates our imagination. I envy readers of my book who come to it with Anne Hathaway’s image of Jane in their mind’s eye. You will not have to struggle against the image Cassandra created to see the Jane Austen who was young and pretty, lively and in love. Anne Hathaway’s skilful portrayal of Jane Austen in Becoming Jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can.
Jon Spence,

Very obliging, very obliging! (think Miss Bates)
Capital, capital! (think Lizzy Bennet)
Hey Michelle, how was the lunar eclipse? I missed some parts because I obligingly wrote the PP Jane Bennet article for you there. Hope you like it!
Oh, and James' tousled hair in BJ was the best hair he had ever donned so far! He's just soooo sexy there!
Worst hair: Mr. Tumnus. But then his goatee was cute, and his eyes... ^_^
I have to say, James' hair in BJ is quite, quite fabulous, as is that accent... he is unbelievably charismatic! I have to give the "worst hair" award to "Starter for 10," though, which I just got through netflix today -- and watched as soon as I got home! He's still gorgeous, but I much, much prefer him in the fabulous "Becoming Jane" :)
I'm always checking, thanks for all the great info! :)
Meg dear, of course I know you're still here ;-)
The hair... sigh... the best hair of JMA...was definitely Becoming Jane. He's quite becoming there.
Starter for Ten. LOL! That's a very unique movie. I love it.
Oh, I know! JMA's spiky hair in Inside I'm Dancing! Very funky, but did not show his charm. I guess, that was not meant to be...
And ch 3 of If I Loved You Less will come up soon, for dearest Rachel has finished the beta!
