Daniel Cooper dance from "War and Peace" by Tolstoy

Somebody just sent me this question, if a dance that appears early in
the novel and movie "War and Peace" by Tolstoy is real, and if so,
what are its origins?

The dance is called the "Daniel Cooper". It certainly does not sound
Russian. Do you know anything about this, or do you have suggestions
about who could have information about this?

Thank you
