The dance was brought to the Virgin Islands during the height of its popularity in England, and was adapted as plantation entertainment. Quadrilles were originally performed by two couples. Then two more couples were added, and the dance was performed by four couples in a square formation. Quadrille is a precursor to traditional square dancing, which finds its origins in the early 1900’s. Quadrille, as danced in the Virgin Islands, is unique in the number of couples that participate (four or more couples) in the performance, the requirement for a caller who calls out instructions to the dancers, the traditional costumes, and the type of music."
