Pages : 184
Book Description
A translation of La danse des salons (1847), this manual provides important information on mid-nineteenth-century ballroom dance. Following a format utilized by many manuals, the work begins with introductory comments on dance, followed by a description of the French quadrille. This is followed by discussion of round dances--the polka, numerous waltzes including waltze à trois temps, and waltze à deux temps--as well as steps and figures for another type of quadrille known as the mazurka quadrille. The manual contains eighty-three figures for a series of dance games, called the cotillon (also known as the German or German cotillon). The manual includes eight full-page prints by Paul Gavarni.

Book Description
The 1890s book on round dances by M.B. Gilbert, a well-known American dancing master, containing instructions for numerous variations on waltzes, polkas, galops, redowas, mazurkas, schottisches, and other dances. Somewhat unusually for the era, it does not include any notes on dances other than round dances, like quadrilles, or on etiquette. This edition is a modern reformatting of the early digitized version made by the Library of Congress for the American Ballroom Companion collection, itself now considerably antiquated. Formatting has been reworked to be both practically useful and considerably closer to the original text, and errors in the LoC digitization have been corrected when found, while errors in the original text have been preserved.

The Dance of Society

Category : Ballroom dancing

Pages : 188
Book Description
This manual was originally published in 1864 with subsequent editions in 1865, 1866, and 1868 when the author noted that many of the dances were no longer fashionable. Typical of other late nineteenth-century manuals, much of the text is borrowed from other writers. The manual provides a brief section on etiquette and describes the popular ballroom dances of the era--quadrille, polka redowa, polka mazurka, schottisch, galop, and cotillon. Reflecting a growing interest in the dances of the past, De Garmo provides directions and music for the "Menuet de la Cour." The manual was reissued in 1884.
