I'm a cultural historian in Australia. One of my areas of interest is the dance culture of people who were transported to the colony (1887 - 1840). I came across a woman called Isabella Beechey who was sentenced to transportation for stealing a number of household items in June 1824. She pawned a soup ladle and sugar-tongs for 34s. *
She was apprehended , dancing at the Golden Lion public-house, Leman-street, Whitechapel, about nine o'clock at night; there were about 200 persons in the room. *
This was all documented in the old bailey online site.
