The quadrilha, a dance typical of Brazilian June festivals, came from the 'quadrille', a ballroom dance that emerged in Paris in the 18th century. It was a fad among the European elite and arrived here during the Regency period (around 1830). Throughout the 19th century, dance became popular in the country and merged with our preexisting Brazilian manifestations. From the square of the past, little was left: the rhythm changed, the steps changed, the matuto wedding was incorporated before the beginning of the dance.
