However, quadrilles themselves came in (in the UK) during the Regency.
(The Brits got them late because there wasn't a lot of commerce in dance books
or dance instructors between France and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars,
and the expat French aristos who set up as dancing masters in England had
fled before quadrilles were developed. There was a book of quadrilles
published in Boston (Mass, US) in 1805, though.

Quadrilles would be historically appropriate for Regency dance, but you're
unlikely to see them at conventions because the teach/dance ratio is so high.
(When Stan Isaacs did a special series of Regency quadrille classes with
authentic footwork, it took about eight weeks of hour-long Monday-night
classes, with whatever practice we did at home, before we could get through
the first set of quadrilles.)

If you requested a quadrille at a Regency dance I was calling, I'd probably do
a cotillion - the predecessor to quadrilles, some of which have quite a
reasonable teach/dance ratio.

Alice's-Adventures-In-Wonderland theme, and who contrived to precede the
Grand March with a group reading of the Lobster Quadrille." )
