Ellis and Chris Rogers run Quadrille Club, which meets on one Sunday a month in London to learn and enjoy dances of the 19th century. They also organise an annual ball on the first Saturday of December; this is usually Victorian (c.1870) but in 2012 will commemorate the voyage of the Titanic in 1912.
Ellis is well-known internationally for his knowledge of social dance of the 19th century; he is a popular teacher and an MC for balls and assemblies of that century and of the late 18th century. He has written a book, 'The Quadrille', exploring all aspects of that dance form.

Verstand & Gefühl, Stolz & Vorurteil, Mansfieldpark, Emma
und die anderen Romane von Jane Austen stehen heute für die Zeit des Empire. Oft als Trivialliteratur belächelt und verkannt
sind ihre Werke herausragendende und fesselnde Zeugen einer Epoche.
Sie gehören mit zu den meistverfilmten Büchern
und lieferten den Stoff für viele weitere.
Immer stehen auch die Feste und Bälle im Mittelpunkt des Geschehens. Vor allem die Verfilmungen der BBC zeichnen sich dabei
durch die Verwendung originaler historische Tänze aus.

Um 1820 mit Entdeckung der Ludwigsquelle entstand der Wunsch, der Stadt Homburg den Glanz einer Kursstadt zu verleihen. In der Blütezeit des Kurbetriebes zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts hin zog es nicht nur den englischen König Edward II. in die liebliche Stadt im Taunus, sondern auch den deutschen Kaiser Wilhelm II.. Möglicherweise war der Kaiser so fasziniert von Homburg, dass er ab 1888 diese charmante Kurstadt zu seiner Sommerresidenz mit Sitz im Schloss erwählte. Stilvolle Bäderarchitektur entstand daraufhin und weltweit bekannte Heilkunst entwickelte sich.
