I have always loved the old southern belle dances I have seen in old movies like Gone witht he wind. But when I tried to look up what they were I can’t seem to find what the exact dances were so I could find a way to learn them. The group one with the line and what specific waltz did they do? Any of the dances from the era would be helpful.
what are the dances they did in the movie gone with the wind?

The movie was set during the time of the Civil War, so you might have better luck looking up Victorian era dancing. There are a number of dance organizations that teach Victorian dancing. Here is a website with a list of all the different dances from the 18th and 19th centuries:

And here are links to a couple of websites of people who have formed Victorian Dance Troupes. They teach lessons and such as well. You might be able to find a similar group in your area:
