This was a bit of a challenge for me as I'm not that confident in my ability to draw human figures! It seems to have worked out OK though...

The dancing Ladies are poised and elegant. No two have the same combination of hair colour and dress colour. I was going to have the Lords leaping with equal grace and precision, and then I thought "No - these are supposedly dignified Lords doing something completely out of character".
