Originally published in 1650 under the title of The English dancing master, this work went through numerous editions from 1652 to 1728. Compiled by John Playford (1623-1687), a publisher of music books, the treatise is considered an important work on English country dances, a form of dance where couples perform a series of set patterns. In this tenth edition, Henry Playford notes that he has made corrections and added several new dances and tunes. The work utilizes a rudimentary dance notation and page one of the treatise is devoted to an explanation of the symbols. Part one contains 215 dances; part two has 46 dances and additional music for "A new spanish entry and saraband," as danced by Monsieur L'Abbe. Appropriate music, in the form of a treble line, is provided for each dance. Most of the dances are designated for longways sets of three couples, four couples, or "as many as will." 2 v. in 1. 11 x 20 cm.;LOC: MT950.P68 1698

Adams, Revels Alcorn (1869-)The social dance, by Dr. R. A. Adams1921ELrA#017 Kansas City, Kan., The author, c1921. This antidance treatise is divided into four parts. The first part discusses the physical effects of the dance and the author concludes that habitual dancers are sick more often and women are more prone to "female weaknesses." The second section focuses on the dangers of dance on the mind and concludes that many girls fail in school because they dance too much. In the Third section, the author argues that dance is immoral and "fires the passions of young women." The concluding section is devoted to detailing passages in the Scriptures that the author interprets as supporting his arguments. 32 p. 20 cm;LOC: GV1741.A3
Blasis, Carlo (1803-1878)Nouveau manuel complet de la danse; ou, Traité théorique et pratique de cet art depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'à nos jours, par Blasis1866FLRB#020 Paris, Roret, 1866.

This manual is an early German example of the literature against the practice of dancing. In this case, Bogatzky (1690-1774) compares gambling with dancing, and asks the reader to consider these practices in the context of Scripture, especially the Ten Commandments. 192 p. 18 cm.;LOC: GV1590.B7
Boiseul, JeanTraité contre les danses. Par Jean Boiseul1606FLA#023 La Rochelle, Les heritiers de Hierosme Havltin, 1606. An early example of an antidance treatise, this manual provides a foundation for arguments that continued to the end of the nineteenth century--that dancing is a sin against God. Much of Boiseul's argument is based on biblical examples (chapters and verses are noted in the margins of each page). While acknowledging that dance is mentioned in the Bible, the author is quick to point out that the dances were "joyous and spontaneous" and very different from the seventeenth-century social dances of his day. The courante, branle, and galliard come under specific attack. Additionally, Boiseul makes particularly strong arguments against the dances of non-Christian "savages." 50 p. 16 cm.;LOC: GV1740.B7

Bowen, Louise W. de K.The public dance halls of Chicago1917ELA#025 [Chicago] The Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago, 1917. This is a revised edition of a work based on an investigation done in 1910 regarding the conditions of public dance halls in Chicago. Bowen's complaints included the late hours, too much liquor, and the general behavior of men noting, "... men wear their hats; they all smoke and expectorate freely." She also suggests the waiters and other employees provide information on the location of "disreputable lodging houses," and delivers condemnation against masquerade and fancy dress balls because many women were found "attending in male attire." 13 p. 23 cm.;LOC: GV1623.B7
Brieux Saint-Laurent, vicomte deQuelques mots sur les danses modernes, par le vte de B. Saint-Laurent1863FLA#026 Paris, C. Douniol, 1863. This is a fourth edition of a book that acknowledges other antidance tracts including Boullay's Réforme de las danse des salons; Gustave Louis's Physiologie de l'opinion, and La Chrétienne de nos jours by l'Abbé Bautain. The author notes, with some disdain, that the waltz was introduced into France "par les impures du Directoire" (p. 8). The polka also receives criticism. 6 p. 16 cm.;LOC: GV1649.B75 1863
Brookes, Lawrence De GarmoBrookes on modern dancing, containing a full description of all dances, as practised in the ball room and at private parties, together with an essay on etiquette. By L. De G. Brookes1867ELRTjpB#027 New York [The author] 1867. The format for this manual is typical of nineteenth-century dance treatises.

Brookes, James Hall (1830-1897)May Christians dance? By Jas. H. Brookes1869ELA#028 St. Louis, J. W. McIntyre, 1869. This is a typical example of the antidance literature that was published during the nineteenth century. Although Brookes provides a weak defense of dancing, his final conclusion is that the large assemblies, indelicate dressing, "unwarrantable freedom of intercourse between the sexes," as well as uncontrolled excitement, leads to a thorough worldliness and, ultimately, to the forgetfulness of God. The manual was reissued in the 1890s under the title The modern dance. 143 p. 16 cm;LOC: GV1741.B8
Brooks, C. ProfessorThe ballroom monitor; or, Guide to the learner; containing the most complete sets of quadrilles ever published1866ELjprB#030 Philadelphia, J. H. Johnson [c1866].

The manual, which would fit into a pocket, contains information on quadrilles (called cotillions by Brooks), waltz, polka, redowa, and schottisch. Additionally, the manual contains numerous variety quadrilles--polka quadrilles, schottisch quadrilles, Polaca quadrilles, Varsoviana quadrilles, and a mazurka quadrille. 63 p 13 cm;LOC: GV1751.B85

Burette, Pierre Jean (1665-1747)Prima, e seconda memoria per servire alla istoria del ballo degli antichi, del signor Burette. N.° II1746ILB#032 Venezia, 1746. In this history of dance, Burette (1665-1747) presents an extensive discussion on Greek and Roman dance, basing his information on literary references such as the Iliad and authors such as Lucian. Included in the discussion are tragic and serious ballet, satire, and pantomime. While this text illuminates the importance of Greek and Roman influence on the arts of the mid-eighteenth century, modern dance scholars will find many interpretive and factual errors. 1 p.l., 33-44, 33-42 p. 25 x 19 cm;LOC: GV1607.B8

Cahusac, Louis deLa danse ancienne et moderne, ou Traité historique de la danse. Par m. de Cahusac1754FLB#034 A La Haye [i.e. Paris] chez J. Neaulme, 1754. This three-volume work on dance history describes dance from its origins through the court fêtes of Louis XIV. Volume one stresses the importance of studying the theories of all the arts and covers the dance history of numerous ancient civilizations including Greek, Roman, Turkish, and Egyptian. Volume two describes the renaissance of the arts and the origins of ballet to 1610. Volume three focuses on dance in the court of Henri IV and the establishment of French opera. Cahusac borrows heavily from other writers, especially Philippe Quinault. Although by twentieth-century scholastic standards, Cahusac's interpretations may be problematic, the work formed the foundation for much of the writing on dance history until the twentieth century. 3 v 14 cm;LOC: GV1600.C2
Carpenter, Lucien OJ. W. Pepper's universal dancing master, prompter's call book and violinist's guide : containing a description of all the figures and full explanation of the different steps used in dancing, together with the music of all the principal dances, arranged for violin, with the prompter's calls printed on each dance just where they occur in dancing by Lucien O. Carpenter1882ELPTjrBM#035 Philadelphia, Pa. : J.W. Pepper. This manual is a compilation of previously published materials and its contents are typical of similar books published during the 1880s. The standard etiquette for balls has been reduced to simple rules; for example, "A lady should not attend a public ball without an escort." The manual continues with a discussion of the quadrille and round dances, including the waltz, Boston dip, Berlin, and polka. This edition is an excellent source; over seventy pages of violin music are included. 110 p ill 27 cm;LOC: GV1751.C29 1882b
Cassidy, James PA treatise on the theory and practice of dancing, with an appropriate poem, in two cantos, and plates illustrative of the art. By James P. Cassidy1810ELB#036 Dublin, Printed by W. Folds, 1810. The first section of this manual is devoted to a history of dance with emphasis on Greek and Roman practices. However, much of this section is borrowed liberally from the writings of late eighteenth-century authors, and, while it illuminates the importance of Greek and Roman influence on the arts of the era, modern dance scholars will find many interpretive and factual errors. Book two is a discourse on what Cassidy considers the practical aspects of dance: steps, music, and deportment. There is also discussion on the minuet, reel, and country dances. 6 p l, 88 p front, 3 col pl 18 cm;LOC: GV1590.C3

Charbonnel, RaoulLa danse. Comment on dansait, comment on danse. Technique de Mme Berthe Bernay ... notation musicale de MM. Francis Casadesus et Jules Maugué. Illustrations de M. Valvérane1899FLBM#041 Paris, Garnier frères 1899. This manual is an extensive history of dance that incorporates many countries, cultures, and periods including Chinese, Hindu, Egyptian, Greek, ancient Gaul, European Renaissance, and Baroque. The manual also covers popular culture, peasant dance, and "foreign dance." The perspective of this manual is clearly nineteenth century, with little emphasis on historical fact. The point of view is clearly western, and this is evident in the music examples that accompany almost every country or culture's entry--all have been subjected to western notation and are arranged in late nineteenth-century grand musical style. Additionally, the text includes numerous illustrations and, no matter the country or culture, the figures are physically shaped to look like late nineteenth-century western ladies and gentlemen. ix, 418 p front, illus, 28 cm;LOC: GV1601.C6

Small enough to fit into a pocket, the manual begins with a discussion of the polka and includes directions for various ballroom dances including the mazurka quadrille, polka mazurka, schottisch, "La Cellarius," gorlitza, various quadrilles and other group dances such as "La Tempète" and "Sir Roger de Coverley." The manual concludes with directions for the "Menuet de la Cour." An expanded version of this work was published in 1873. xii, 99, 1 p front illus 13 cm;LOC: GV1751.C85
Cree, Aubrey McMahonHandbook of ball-room dancing, by Paymaster-Commander A. M. Cree, R.N., with an introduction by George Grossmith; illustrated with diagrams1920ELrB#051 London, John Lane; New York, John Lane company, 1920. This manual is designed as a self-teacher for those who cannot or, according to the author, are unwilling to attend dance classes. Additionally, Cree declares the most popular dances to be the Lame Duck Valse, valse, one step, foxtrot, and lancers. Although he includes instructions for a Three Step or Straight Jazz, and a Tango Valse, the manual does not reflect dances that were being performed during the late teens. 2 p l, 88 p 20 cm;LOC: GV1751.C89

Mit 34 in den text gedruckten abbildungen und 9 alten tanzmelodien.1862GLB#052 Leipzig, J. J. Weber, 1862. In this vast history of dance, Czerwinski discusses the origins of dance with Greek and Roman examples and continues with a description of the dances in many countries including Spain, France, Germany, England, Scotland, Sweden, Holland, Poland, Japan and Turkey. Specific dances include the galliard, galop, menuet, quadrille, waltz, and tarantella. Although the scholarship is flawed by contemporary standards, the work is part of a large body of literature that influenced the writing of dance history through the end of the nineteenth century. viii, 264 p 18 cm;LOC: GV1601.C8
Davis, George RevAn account of the trial of social dance1899ELA#053 Rondout, NY, K. Freeman printing house, 1899. The author of this work claims to be pastor of the Reformed Churches of Marbletown and North Marbletown as well as a lawyer. In this manual, Davis takes a novel approach in preaching his anti dance position, which he calls "The Trial of Social Dance ... The only King and Potentate, Jesus Christ vs. Social Dance." The jury for this "trial" is composed of "The Public Conscience." "Witnesses" include Mr. Worldly Fun, Mr. Roman Catholic Bishop, Mr. Round Dancing Master, and Miss Chicago Barmaid. The trial proceeds and, in Davis's summary, the jury declares the defendant, social dance, guilty. 46 p 23 cm;LOC: GV1741.D26

De Garmo ...1865ELRTpB#055 New York, Raymond & Caulon, printers, 1865. Like many other nineteenth-century dance manuals, much of the material in The prompter comes from previously published materials. The treatise opens with a brief discussion of etiquette and continues with figures for quadrilles. Additionally, the manual discusses "Le quadrille Français," De Garmo's terminology for English country dances, and gives eighty-seven figures for the cotillon, a popular group dance that takes the form of a series of party games. 78 p 14 cm;LOC: GV1751.D325

Illustré de nombreuses gravures.1900FLPTjB#056 Paris, H. Delarue et cie [190-?]. Desrat begins his work with a description of dances that were still in vogue at the turn of the century: Boston waltz, cake walk, Berlin, pas de patineurs, and Washington-Post (a two step). A history of ancient dance follows and the discussion begins with Greek and Roman origins; this is followed by a discussion of "modern dances," which Desrat describes as pavane, gavotte, branle, and the minuet. Much of Desrat's historical text is borrowed heavily from previously published sources including Élise Voirat's 1823 Essai sur la danse antique et moderne. 206 p 16 cm;LOC: GV1593.D5
naThe dance, ancient and modern / translated from the French by Arabella E. Moore.1900ELjB#058 Philadelphia, Pa. : A. Moore, 1900. Translated from French by Arabella E. Moore, this is an example of the growing body of historiographical texts that began to appear in the late 1890s into the turn of the twentieth century. The work borrows heavily from previously published materials for sections on primitive and ancient dances. As with other authors of this era, "modern dances" are considered to be pavane, gavot, rigodon, and minuet. In keeping with a renewed interest in the reconstruction of Renaissance and Baroque dances, the manual includes a chapter, "Revival of Popular Old Dances." A chapter on "contemporary dances" includes polka quadrilles, Boston, mazurka, and cotillon (also known as the German). 32 p 23 cm;LOC: GV1603.D2
Drumm, Melvin CThe modern dance and what shall take its place1921ELA#059 Center Hall, Pa., Center Reporter printing office, 1921. This manual consists of a sermon presented at Saint Luke's Lutheran Church, on 13 February 1921 in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. This antidance work argues that dance is injurious to the health, is usually accompanied by drinking alcohol, and forces young men to stray from serious reflection and prayer. Typical of this genre of literature, the book contains testimonials from numerous denominations including the Roman Catholic Church, Episcopal Church, Baptist Church, Presbyterian Church, and the Methodist Church. 15 p 23 cm;LOC: GV1741.D75

Mosca, 1728. Part one of this text consists of thirty-four chapters devoted to instructions for steps required in Italian Baroque dance including pirola (pirouette), sfuggito (echappé), passo unite (assemblé), and cadente (tombé). Each step is fully described and notated in Feuillet notation, the dance notation system first published by French choreographer Raoul-Auger Feuillet in 1700. The second part of the manual contains six chapters devoted to performance of the minuetto (minuet) and concludes with a section on the contradanza (contredanse) and riverenze (bows). 12 p.l., 160 p. diagrs. 18 cm.

Durang, Charles (1796-1870)The fashionable dancer's casket; or, The ballroom instructor1856ELPTjrB#063 Philadelphia, Baltimore [etc.] Fisher & brother c1856. Although Charles Durang was a well-known Philadelphia dancing teacher and the son of famed American dancer John Durang, very little of this manual originates from the pen of the author. He acknowledges that the dances contained in the book are by the "celebrated teachers of Paris and London." Additionally, the sections on etiquette, deportment, and dress stem from "Mrs. Henderson's treatise." The manual includes descriptions of the popular ballroom dances of the day--quadrilles, polka, waltz, schottisch, gorlitza, and Cellarius waltz. 192 p 12 cm;LOC: GV1751.D94

Faulkner, Thomas AThe lure of the dance, by T. A. Faulkner1916ELA#065 Los Angeles, Cal., T. A. Faulkner c1916. This is the second antidance treatise published by ex-dancing master Faulkner, which he suggests was needed "because the dance craze has developed with such incredible rapidity." This book consists of large sections taken from his earlier book, From the ballroom to hell. Much of Faulkner's diatribe consists of testimonials against women, whom he feels need to be protected from dancing, "one of the most irresistible and dangerous attractions." 148 p 18 cm;LOC: GV1741.F27

Von C. J. v. Feldtenstein1772GLPBM#066 Braunschweig, 1772. Originally published in 1767 under the title Die Kunst nach der Choregraphie zu Tänze, Feldtenstein's manual utilizes text and tables to describe basic steps. The work includes figures for country dances and quadrilles, and a variety of national dances as well as figures and music for four contredanses. This manual is especially important for its description of the minuet as a duet and its subsequent change into a group dance. 109 p 17 cm;LOC: GV1601.F3
Ferrero, Edward (1831-1899)The art of dancing, historically illustrated. To which is added a few hints on etiquette; also, the figures, music, and necessary instruction for the performance of the most modern and approved dances ... By Edward Ferrero1859ELPRTjBM#067 New York, The author, 1859. Although much of the material in this manual is borrowed from the dance writings of Charles Durang, it remains an important source for the study of mid-nineteenth-century ballroom dance. Unlike other contemporary writers, Ferrero devotes more than eighty pages to the origins of dance and a history of European and Native American dance. The remaining part of the manual concerns ballroom etiquette and descriptions of numerous dances including the quadrille, waltz, polka, schottisch, varsovienne, polka mazurka, and galop. Ferrero gives directions for more than eighty figures of the cotillon, a group dance performed as a series of party games. Some of the figures include "The scarf," "The glass of wine," "The sea during a storm," "The four chairs," and "The rounds thwarted." The manual concludes with music for twenty-three dances. 181 p 19 cm
Fertiault, Francois (1814-1915)Histoire anecdotique et pittoresque de la danse chez les peuples anciens et modernes ... Par F. Fertiault1854FLB#068 Paris, A. Aubry, 1854. Large portions of this manual on the history of dance are borrowed from other sources including Mme Élise Voiart's Essai sur la danse. The author begins with an examination of Greek and Roman dance and continues through the court dances of Louis XII and Catherine de Médicis. The discussion on French theatrical dance includes mention of two well-known ballerinas, Fanny Elssler and Fanny Cerrito. A wide range of Renaissance and Baroque dances is discussed including the gavotte, pavane, sarabande, chaconne, and gailliard. This manual is typical of other similar publications in that substantial discussion is given to dance practices in foreign lands including China, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Hungary, and Russia. 128 p 16 cm;LOC: GV1601.F43

Hubbert, James MonroeDancers and dancing; a calm and rational view of the dancing question, by Pastor J. M. Hubbert1901ELA#104 Nashville, Tenn., Cumberland Presbyterian publishing house c1901.

However, the discussion is weighted toward the common discourse found in this genre of antidance literature. Hubbert argues that although dance was practiced in biblical times, it was performed by and for women. Additionally, he concludes that dance is bad for the health and a waste of time and money. 44 p 19 cm;LOC: GV1741.H87

Jones, John Griffing (1804-1888)An appeal to all Christians, especially the members of the Methodist Episcopal church, against the practice of social dancing. By Rev. John G. Jones1867ELA#107 Saint Louis, P. M. Pinckard, 1867. This tract against the practice of social dancing is based on a series of articles written by Jones in 1852. Jones notes alarm because dance is gaining favor with the public. Two of his arguments are common in this genre of literature. First, he claims that dance is an unhealthy exercise. Second, he claims that dance in the Bible is exempted from criticism because it was interpreted as being performed only by women. Jones argues that dance is the natural result of "fervent piety, and of a heart overflowing with gratitude." 66 p 15 cm;LOC: GV1741.J6

Palmer, Benjamin Morgan (1818-1902)Social dancing inconsistent with a Christian profession and baptismal vows: a sermon, preached in the Presbyterian church, Columbia, S.C., June 17, 1849, by B. M. Palmer1849ELA#130 Columbia, Printed at the office of the South Carolinian, 1849. Taken from a sermon delivered 17 June 1849, Palmer's book is typical of midnineteenth-century antidance literature. He declares that the seventeen references to dance in the Bible are all performed by one sex, in open fields, and in broad daylight. This, Palmer (1818-1902) concludes, is not the case with balls, in which the sexes dance together, in closed quarters, and at night. The author declares that human nature is "fallen and depraved, and subject to the domination of wicked passions," therefore, attending balls is promiscuous, demoralizing and inconsistent with baptismal vows. 23 p 19 cm;LOC: GV1741.P3

Penn, W. E.There is no harm in dancing, by W. E. Penn, with an introduction by Rev. J. H. Stribling, D.D.1884ELA#136 St. Louis, Mo., L. E. Kline, 1884. The basic premise in this antidance treatise is typical of this genre of dance literature; namely, dance is bad for the health and is a waste of money. The author utilizes a novel approach and uses trees as metaphors to support his arguments. Some trees are "not comely to look upon, but the fruit very good." Other trees have dangerous fruit and the author concludes that samples of the fruit found on the tree of dancing include "pride, lasciviousness, lying, drunkenness, embezzlement, fornication, cruelty, idolatry, prostitution, abortion, and assassination."

In an attempt to inspire his readers who were located far from the United States' urban, eastern cultural centers, Powell notes that dance "has not improved, except in the larger cities."

Reilley, E. B.The Amateur's Vademecum. A practical treatise on the art of dancing1870ELPRTjB#144 Philadelphia, J. Nicholas, printer, 1870. Reilley's work is a typical example of dance manuals published during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Whereas previous manuals often had many pages devoted to etiquette and deportment, Reilly devotes but two paragraphs noting that he was leaving the rest to the "good sense and nature" of his readers. The manual provides an extensive history of dance from the Greeks and Romans to the courts of Italy and France to the dances of aboriginal American Indians. Demonstrating the century's growing interest in physical education, Reilley provides a detailed section on exercise. The manual gives descriptions of the popular ballroom dances of the era--quadrilles, waltz, schottisch, and polka. 231 p 16 x 12 cm.;LOC: GV1751.R36
Rice, Nathan Lewis (1807-1877)A discourse on dancing, delivered in the Central Presbyterian church, Cincinnati. By N. L. Rice1847ELrA#145 Cincinnati, The Presbyterian book depository, and W. H. Moore, 1847. This book is typical of mid-nineteenth century antidance works. While many writers noted that the Bible contains numerous references to dance, Rice (1807-1877) points out that, in a biblical context, dance was utilized as a part of worship, performed exclusively by women dancing with each other. (The dangers of contact between the sexes while dancing were a common theme in antidance literature.) The second point, also common in antidance books, centered on the notion that dancing was bad for the health, especially in women. 24 p. 22 cm.;LOC: GV1741.R5
Rivers, Charles H.A full description of modern dances. By C. H. Rivers1885ELrBE#146 Brooklyn 1885. Unlike earlier manuals that contained detailed information on etiquette, this manual reflects the trend of late nineteenth-century manuals to shorten or eliminate such information. This manual contains only one-third of a page of etiquette. Dances described include the waltz (with reversing steps), polka, schottisch, polka redowa, polka mazurka, galop, quadrilles, contra dances ("Scilian Circle," "Spanish Dance" and "Rustic Reel"). Thirty-seven figures are given for the popular series of party game figures known as the cotillon or German. 63 p 16 x 13 cm;LOC: GV1751.R62
Roberts, HenryRoberts manual of fashionable dancing and vade mecum for the ballroom; containing a review and full description of all the modern dances, &c1875ELTprB#147 Melbourne, George Robertson, 1875. Like many European and North American manuals of the nineteenth century, this Australian version is acknowledged by the publisher to be a compilation of other writer's work. To enhance the book's marketability, the author states that many "who have left the colonies for London, Paris, and other continental cities" have admirably acquitted and distinguished themselves. The book describes quadrilles and waltzes as well as dances popular in the 1840s such as the "Cellarius Waltz." 136 p 14 cm.;LOC: GV1751.R65
Rowe, George HThe prompter's own book; or, Rowe's calls for the ballroom. Contains all the latest and best calls necessary for an all night party1878ELB#148 Boston, G. H. Rowe, c1878. Foreshadowing the growing trend of late nineteenth-century dance manuals to reduce discussion on etiquette, Rowe's treatise contains absolutely no information on the subject but begins directly with information on the quadrille. This book advertised for 25 cents, is far less extensive than most published during the 1870s. 9 p 18 cm;LOC: GV1767.R87
naImmorality of modern dances, ed. by Beryl and associates1904ELA#149 New York, Everitt and Francis co. 1904. This antidance work is typical of the genre of dance writing that has its roots in published works reaching far back into the Renaissance. Three arguments are raised: (1) although dance is acknowledged to have been practiced during biblical times, it was always performed by and for women solely; (2) dancing is considered bad for the health and, (3) dance is a waste of time. The editors of this manual single out round dances, specifically waltzes, as immoral. To fortify the argument, the book contains testimonials from Catholic and Protestant church representatives. 114 p 18 cm;LOC: GV1741.I3
Sause, JudsonThe art of dancing, embracing a full description of the various dances of the present day ... by Judson Sause1889ELPRB#150 Chicago, New York, Belford, Clarke & company, c1889. This manual is acknowledged by the author to be a compilation of other sources. In its eight chapters, the work covers etiquette, general instructions for feet positions and bows, the quadrille, contra dances ("Spanish Dance," "Sicilian Circle," and "Virginia Reel"), as well as the polka, redowa, York, schottisch, military schottisch, Bohemian, and several waltz variations--modern, hop, five-step, and knickerbocker.

Segadlo, L. F.Course of instruction in dancing and aesthetic development of the body [by] L. F. Segadlo1889ELrB#151 Newark, N.J., c1889. This is a translation by Segadlo of an article, by an unknown author, found in the Universal Gazette, published in Vienna, Austria. It is a strong defense of dance and exercise, a subject that was often discussed during the late nineteenth century. The manual concludes with three sets of quadrilles as taught by the author, "Princeton University Lancers," "Saratoga Lancers," and the plain quadrille. 11 20 cm.;LOC: GV1753.S45
Strassburg, Herman A., Jr.Call book of modern quadrilles ... Arranged and explained by Herman A. Strassburg, jr.1889ELB#153 Detroit, Mich., American music co., c1889. The author of this manual declares that "every person should be able to dance ... quadrilles without the aid of a 'caller.'" Unlike other contemporary call books, Strassburg provides the calls as well as a brief description of the figures. The work also includes three waltz quadrilles (one is set for three couples) that are credited to the well-known dancing master E. W. Masters of Boston. 24 p. 15 cm.;LOC: GV1767.S89
Strathy, AlexanderElements of the art of dancing; with a description of the principal figures in the quadrille. By Alexander Strathy1822ELTprB#154 Edinburgh, Printed for the author, and sold by F. Pillans and Oliver & Boyd 1822. One of the most important manuals devoted to the performance of early nineteenth-century quadrilles, Strathy divides this manual into two parts. Part one is an extensive treatment of exercises for the improvement of one's deportment. Part two provides lucid descriptions for more than twenty steps appropriate for the performance of the quadrille, a popular ballroom dance performed by four couples who face each other in a square. Additionally, Strathy provides combinations of steps for the most common figures of the quadrille. The manual concludes with directions, given in French and English, for eleven quadrille figures. 98 p 18 cm.;LOC: GV1763.S78

Théleur, E. A.Letters on dancing, reducing this elegant and healthful exercise to easy scientific principles ... By E. A. Théleur ... Illustrated by twenty-four copper-plate engravings, by Stewart, Halpin, Hicks and Read1832ELTrB#156 London, Author, 1832. This manual is considered one of the most important discussions regarding the style and steps of early Romantic ballet. A dancer and dancing master, Théleur (née Taylor; fl. c. 1817-c.1844), wrote his manual in the form of a series of thirteen letters that includes a brief history of dance as well as a section devoted to social dance. The book is enhanced by full-page prints, including illustrations of dancers on full pointe. Théleur's dance notation system, the first in the nineteenth century, also helps illuminate theatrical dance practices of the time. 104 p 27 cm.;LOC: GV1787.T37
Tikhomirov, Aleksei DmitrievichSamouchitel modnykh bal' nykh I kharakternykh tantsev1901RLB#157 Moskva, 1901. Translated as "Self-tutor of fashionable social and characteristic dances," this is an important Russian-language manual that describes the role of social dance, the importance of proper bearing, bows, introductions, and etiquette. Many of the same are the same as those performed in the ballrooms of western Europe, such as the waltz, quadrille, polonaise, polka, pas de patinier. Other dances are more interesting--the mazurka, pas de'Espagne, Hongroise, csárdas, and kamarinskaya. The descriptions are enhanced by diagrams and drawings. Some of the dance titles are written in French, the prevailing language of the ballroom. 155 p 22 cm;LOC: GV1753 .T5
Tomlinson, KellomThe art of dancing explained by reading and figures; whereby the manner of performing the steps is made easy by a new and familiar method: being the original work, first design'd in the year 1724, and now published by Kellom Tomlinson, dancing-master1735ELB#158 London, Printed for the author, 1735. The title page indicates the book was completed in 1724. However, the cost of the thirty-five full-page plates precluded publication until 1735. In this treatise of two parts, Tomlinson (c. 1690-1753?) sets forth the principles of Baroque dance. Book one covers description of twenty nine steps; book two discusses the minuet, including four methods of performing the minuet step. 159 p 30 x 23 cm;LOC: MT950.A2 T6

Voiart, Élise, Mme. (1786-1866)Essai sur la danse antique et moderne ... Par Mme Élise Voiart1823FLB#160 Paris, Audot, 1823. All of Mme. Voiart's manual is devoted to the history of dance. Quoting heavily from many previously published materials, including a number of travelogues, this book discusses the origins of dance and devotes a chapter each to Greek and Roman dance. The second part of the book discusses transition to what the author terms "modern dance," in this case the court dances of France. In examining the dances of the French Baroque court, Mme. Voiart (1786-1866) refers to a great variety of dances including the courante, minuet, and gavotte as well as dances from at least one hundred years earlier such as the pavane and branle. Demonstrating an interest in non-European dance, the book also discusses dance as practiced in other parts of the world including Norway, Canada, the Sioux of Missouri, and Africa. Although the scholarship, by contemporary standards, is seriously flawed, the book is part of the large body of literature that has influenced the writing of dance history for more than one hundred years. 251 p 18 cm.;LOC: GV1590.V7

Browne, R EA treatise on the elements of dancing. By T. Erp. Sichore1891ELRTB#162 San Francisco, The Bancroft company 1891. Many manuals compiled from previously published sources under a variety of author names were aimed at an ever-expanding group of people who could not avail themselves of a dance master. This work strives to instruct in a plain and explicit manner, making no attempts to discuss dance "technically and methodically." The manual is structured as a series of lessons. For example, lesson one of eleven on the waltz requires the reader to begin by being "seated upright in a chair." The manual also covers the polka, glide polka, heel and toe polka, schottisch, quadrilles and the German (also known as the cotillon). 123 p 20 cm;LOC: GV1751.B87
Watkins, Joel H.Cotillion figures, by Joel H. Watkins1911ELB#163 New York, Washington, The Neale publishing company, 1911. Red and black diagrams are utilized to show the floor patterns of more than twenty figures for the cotillon (also known as the German), a series of party game figures performed to music and an important staple of the ballroom repertory during the last half of the nineteenth century. The figures in Watkins book are, in fact, many of the same figures used in the grand march. 63 p 16 cm.;LOC: GV1757.W3
Issac, Mr. and Weaver, John (1673-1760)A collection of ball-dances perform'd at court: viz. the Richmond, the roundeau, the rigadoon, the favourite, the Spanheim, and the Britannia. All compos'd by Mr. Isaac, and writ down in characters, by John Weaver, dancing-master1706ELjBM#164 London, Printed for the author, and sold by J. Vaillant, 1706. Dancer, teacher, and theoretician John Weaver (1673-1760) compiled this important collection of choreographies by Mr. Isaac. With melodies composed by James Paisible, the collection contains six ballroom dances: "The Richman," "The Rondeau," "The Rigadoon," "The Favorite," "The Spanheim," and "The Britannia." All are couple dances and are notated in a notation system first published in 1700 by dancing master Raoul-Auger Feuillet (1659 or 1660-1710). The system is based on tract drawings that trace the pattern of the dance. Additionally, bar lines in the dance score correspond to bar lines in the music score. Signs written on the right or left hand side of the tract indicate the steps. 321 p 27 cm.;LOC: MT950.A2 I7
Webster, Alfred Mrs.Dancing, as a means of physical education; with remarks on deformities, and their prevention and cure. By Mrs. Alfred Webster1851ELjE#165 London, D. Bogue 1851. In her strong defense of dance and its application to female physical education, Mrs. Webster declares that dancing, as a exercise, "is the very best safeguard against the evils of over mental education." While she approves of calisthenics and various mechanical apparatus-including swings and pulleys and a "prone couch"-she delivers a stinging rebuke regarding the wearing of corsets. 56 p. 22 cm.;LOC: GV1599.W5
Wilkenson, William CleaverThe Dance of Modern Society1869EJLRpA#166 New York, Funk and Wagnalls, Publishers. New York, Oakley, Mason & co., 1869. Unlike many other nineteenth-century antidance writers who base their arguments on Scripture, Wilkinson asks that his readers formulate their opinions on reason, conscience, and common sense. In fact, Wilkinson argues that he is not an enemy of dance and declares it to be perfectly innocent. His argument is against the "modern manner of dancing" that requires expensive clothing and the "massing together of a jostling crowd of mute or merely gibbering animals." Thus, he summarizes, dancing does nothing to "enhance the intellectual improvement of society." 77 p. 18 cm. Also 1884;LOC: GV1741.W68

This is the first of several books published by Wilson on the subject of English country dancing. Performed as a series of figures by a column of men facing a column of women, the English country dance was one of the most popular early nineteenth-century ballroom dances. Although the manual has a section on ballroom etiquette, it is most useful for its text, tables, and color-coded diagrams, which explain the figures. This edition is dedicated to Madame Desayes, principal dancer at the King's Theatre, where Wilson held the post of dancing master. The manual was expanded and reissued in 1811 and 1822, and a version was published in 1815 entitled The complete system of English country dancing. 139 p 16 cm.;LOC: GV1763.W72 1808

Zorn, Friedrich AlbertGrammar of the art of dancing, theoretical and practical; lessons in the arts of dancing and dance writing (choregraphy) with drawings, musical examples, choregraphic symblos, and special music scores, translated from the German of Friedrich Albert Zorn... edited by Alfonso Josephs Sheafe1887EJLPRBM#174 Boston, Mass. [The Heintzemann press] Translated 1905. Originally published in Leipzig in 1887 under the title Grammatik der tanzkunst, the book was translated into English and Russian. Zorn is well known for his innovative dance notation system that is utilized in this work. The system is important for its information on the step terminology of mid-nineteenth-century ballet. Through text and notation, the manual covers positions of the feet, preparatory exercises, arm movements, as well as describing many steps. Several quadrille figures are also notated as well as the minuet, gavotte, and numerous waltz, polka, and galop steps.

This "do it yourself" mentality was common during the late nineteenth century and this particular dance manual was reissued in 1876 under the title Offenbach's dancing without a master. 61 p. 19 cm.;LOC: GV1751.B19
St. Johnston, Thomas Reginald, Sir (1881-1950)A history of dancing. By Reginald St. Johnston1906ELPB#178 London, Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent, & co., 1906. Saint Johnston claims to be filling a gap in the tracing of dance history and confesses he knows of only three books on the subject, those by Gaston Vuillier, Edward Scott, and John Weaver. The work contains much of the sme information found in numerous other historiographies of the era. The author considers the birth of stage dancing to be the Kate Vaughan's "Skirt Dance" and other opinions expressed by Saint Johnston include the erroneous notion that the quadrille was one of the dances that directly followed the minuet. As was common thinking during this era, the author maintains a strict western bias with chapter titles such as "Quaint Dances in Civilized Countries". 197 p 24 cm;LOC: GV1601.S3

Hammond & co. 1873. This is an expanded version of a manual published under the same title in 1866. It it not known whether or not famed Paris dancing master Coulon actually participated in the assembly of this manual. Most of the manual is compilation from earlier sources. Demonstrating a growing late nineteenth--century interest in physical education, this new version adds a series of exercises to be performed with poles, dumb-bells, and elastics. Additional exervises emphasize walking, running, and jumping. The manual describes the popular ballroom dances of the era--quadrille, waltz, and polka. 153 p 13 cm;LOC: GV1751.C85 1873

By Wm. B. De Garmo ... Illustrations by Theodore Wèust, New York1875ELPRTjB#181 New York, W. A. Pond & co. 1875. 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 rules and figures for 102 cotillon figures. 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. 155 p 21 cm.;LOC: GV1751.D31 1875

De Witt, c1879. The author of this manual claims that many books on dance lack simple explanations; this work is advertised as an answer to that criticism. The author has dispensed with "all unnecessary verbiage and figures of speech" in describing round dances and figures for the German (also know as the cotillon). Nearly half the book is devoted to quadrilles and calls for the prompter. 84 p 19 cm;LOC: GV1751.C32 1879

The book covers the galop, racket, waltz and knickerbocker, bows, quadrilles, the minuet, Virginia reel, and two hundred fifty figures for the German (also known as the cotillon). The manual also includes an illuminating chapter directed toward dance musicians. 302 p 20 cm;LOC: GV1751.D62 1900
Meyen, HenryThe ball room guide, being a compendium of the theory, practice, and etiquette of dancing, embracing the newest quadrilles, polkas ... also, the Meyen quadrille, as taught by H. Meyen1852ELrB#187 New-York, E. & J. Magnus, 1852. This manual begins, as do others of the period, with a general introduction that covers the necessity of dancing and a brief history of the dance. Declaring that bodily exercise "drives away sorrow and care," the author asks, "how is it that there are men malicious enough to condemn this innocent pastime?" (p. 12). The manual continues with ten rules to be observed at balls, duties of managers, and seven rules for the German cotillon (a series of dance games). While Meyer gives figures for quadrilles and directions for fourteen German cotillon figures, his descriptions of round dances are vague. For example, in a describing the polks, he notes it "is either danced in a circle...or at variety, eight bars to the right and eight bars to the left..."(pg. 23). 44 p. 14 cm.;LOC: GV1753.M61

To which are prefixed, a few observations on the style, &c. of the quadrille, the English country dance, and the Scotch reel. By Barclay Dun1818ELprB#189 Edinburgh, Printed for the author, and sold by W. Wilson & co. 1818. The three chapters that make up this manual are devoted to the merits and performance of the French quadrille, a popular ballroom dance performed by four couples who face each other in a square.

Mason, FrancisA treatise on the use and peculiar advantages of dancing and exercises, considered as a means of refinement and physical development ... By Francis Mason1854ELB#194 London, Sharp & Hale, 1854. In this book dancing master Mason attempts to make a case for the advantages of dancing and traces the development of dance from ancient times. As part of his argument, Mason often distinguishes between the dance of civilized and uncivilized peoples. His bias is clear in the following: "Man in a civilized state generally turns the feet outwards, as in an uncivilized state they are invariably turned inwards" (p. 11). 46 p 16 cm;LOC: GV1599.M3

Holt, ArdernHow to dance the revived ancient dances. By Ardern Holt1907ELBM#200 London, H. Cox, 1907. Holt begins his discussion with a history of "chorography" and the work of famed eighteenth-century dancing masters and choreographers Guillaume-Louis Pecour, Pierre Beauchamps, and Raoul-Auger Feuillet. Several pages of dances written in the dance notation system devised by Feuillet are included. Holt's "reconstruction" of the pavan includes the appropriate music from Thoinot Arbeau's 1588 manual, Orchesographie. For decades, the inclusion of the notation and music was deceiving to many unsuspecting people who used Holt's manual to reconstruct dances for the Renaissance and Baroque. Holt's interpretations bear no resemblance to the originals; however, they do clearly illuminate the romanticized aura that began to surround such dances as the minuet during the nineteenth century. Line drawings and photographs enhance Holt's manual. 158 p 19 cm;LOC: GV1753.H7

Ham, Mordecai FranklinThe modern dance; a historical and analytical treatment of the subject; religious, social, hygienic, industrial aspects as viewed by the pulpit, the press, medical authorities, municipal authorities, social workers, etc., by M. F. Ham ... illustrations by Will N. Noonan.1916ELA#207 San Antonio, The San Antonio printing company, 1916. This is the second published edition of a sermon Ham delivered as part of an evangelistic campaign in Palestine, Texas in 1914 and his arguments are typical of this genre of antidance literature. Although Ham and other writers recognize dance in the Bible, it was interpreted as only danced by women, never in closed rooms, and never at night. Also typical of this type of manual, the author includes a list of other denunciations from Catholic, Jewish, Episcopal church leaders. And, in an unusual addition, Ham includes an attack against social dance written by famed ballerina, Lydia Lupokova. Ham, in his colorful language, notes he has published this warning to "save many young men and women from one of Satan's most fetching appeals to the lust of the flesh." 60 p 23 cm.;LOC: GV1741.H3
Satori, Joseph Aloysius (1843- )Modern dances, by Rt. Rev. Mgr. Don Luigi Satori1910ELRA#208 Collegville, Ind., St. Joseph's printing office, 1910. Like other publications of its kind, the book defends the dances of the Greeks and Romans as well as dances mentioned in the Bible on the grounds that they were performed by segregated sexes. With customary western bias, Sartori notes that when Christianity "supplanted Paganism, it found many objectionable practices and customs which it had to eradicate. One was dancing." The author objects both to waltzing, which he claims to be a violation of the Sixth Commandment, and the quadrille, which is "a malicious preparation to enjoy the mad rush to a close embrace." The manual was also published in German under the title Die modernen Tänze. 61 p 20 cm.;LOC: GV1741.S3
naObservations sur les danses1830ELA#209 Lausanne, Société pour la distribution de livres religieux dans le canton de Vaud, 1830. An antidance treatise, the argument presented by the anonymous author is based on the idea that dancing is inconsistent with teachings in the Scripture, specifically the Ten Commandments. For example, just as the golden calf represented idolatry, the author argues that pleasure derived from dance is also idolatry, thus breaking the First Commandment. Similar arguments are made for all but the Second Commandment. 43 p 20 cm;LOC: GV1741.O3

A translation of Gourdoux-Daux's Principes de la Danse (Paris 1804 and 1811), this manual is important for its description of step and step sequences appropriate in the performance of the popular ballroom dance, the quadrille (called contilion by the author).

The manual begins with discussions on deportment, positions, and continues with descriptions of various steps including assemblé, jeté, echappé, chassé, and glissadé. Step combinations are given for nineteen quadrille figures, such as "right and left," "hands round," "English chain," "ladies' chain," and "balancé." 93 p. 18 cm.;LOC: GV1590.G68

Substantiated by quotations from other writers including Pascall, Prince of Conti, Chief Justice Hale, and Archbishop Tillotson, Phillips declares dance to be a vain and idle amusement. While he acknowledges that many people assume the study of dance teaches good carriage and a "graceful and easy way of moving our limbs," he notes that Quakers, "who hold dancing in abomination," manage to display good carriage without benefit of dance instruction. As with other writers of antidance literature, Phillips notes that, although dance wasprevalent during biblical times, only women participated. 39 p. 21 cm.;LOC: GV1740.P5

Thornwell discusses the complexion, appropriate dress, introductions, behavior at parties, rules "on polite, easy, and graceful deportment," hints for conversation including "words, and sayings to be avoided," and concludes with chapters on needle-work and dress-making. Although much of Thornwell's manual was extracted from E. C. de Calabrella's 1844, The Ladies' Science of Etiquette, the manual was popular enough to be reissued ten times between 1857 and 1890. 226 p 19 cm. Also reprint 1979, San Marino, Ca., Huntington Library.;LOC: BJ1856 .T5 (Toner Coll.)
A GentlemanThe laws of etiquette; or, Short rules and reflections for conduct in society. By a gentleman1836EHLSjE#242 Philadelphia, Carey, Lea, and Blanchard, 1836. In a rapidly growing consumer market for etiquette manuals during the nineteenth century, this is an example of a manual that attempts to reinforce the authority of its contents by suggesting legal foundations in its title as well as the qualifications of its author, in this case "A Gentleman." The straightforward chapters include "Good Breeding," "Dress," "Balls," and "Funerals." Reissued throughout the 1840s, much of the manual is a paraphrasing to earlier texts. 172 p 14 cm;LOC: BJ1852.L28
Howe, EliasComplete ball-room hand book, containing upwards of three hundred dances ... By Elias Howe, assisted by several eminent professors of dancing1858ELTB#243 Boston, A. Williams, 1858. To demonstrate the authority of this manual, the publisher claims the author to be American inventor, Elias Howe. Similar to many other dance manuals published throughout the nineteenth century, this book is a publisher's compilation of other sources. The book begins with a description of ballroom etiquette, dress, appropriate music, and rules for prompters. The manual continues of the era's most popular dances including quadrilles, waltz, polka, schottisch, gorlitza, polka mazurka, country dances, and figures for forty-two "Fancy Cotillons," (also known as the cotillon or German), a group dance performed as a series of party games, usually to waltz music. 118 p 16 cm.;LOC: GV1751.H86 1858
Landrin, fl. ca.

This is a collection of twelve contredanses, figure-dances performed by four couples and popular during the last half of the eighteenth century. Unlike other published accounts that describe a single figure for each dance, all the dances in this collection contain a series of figures, demonstrating a closer relationship with nineteenth-century quadrilles. Although this collection contains no floor patterns, the figures for each dance are desbribed in text and appropriate music is provided. 2 v 22 cm.;LOC: GV1649.L36 1760

This is a collection of nine English country dances with directions for the figures and appropriate music for a treble insturment. The English country dance was imported into France during the early eighteenth-century. 11 p 23 cm.;LOC: GV1796A7 L36 1760

Gilbert, M. B. (1847-1910)Round dancing, by M. B. Gilbert1890ELPRTjB#250 Portland, ME 1890. Gilbert, a well-known dancing master, notes that his book will deal only with round dnaces and for other dances or rules of etiquette, the reader should turn elsewhere. After a brief discusion of the positions of the feet, the author discusses, in some length, the waltz position. The manual gives the directions for a large number of waltz, polka, galop, redowa, and mazurka variations--many of which are not described in other contemporary dance literature. pp 203 20 cm
Blasis, Carlo (1803-1878)The code of Terpsichore. The art of dancing, comprising its theory and practice, and a history of its rise and progress, from the earliest times ... by C. Blasis ... Translated under the author's immediate inspection by R. Barton1830ELPrBM#251 London, E. Bull, 1830. This is one of several books written by Italian dancer, choreographer, and writer Blasis (1795-1878). It covers the history and theory of dance, pantomime, the composition of ballets, and contains a section devoted to social dances entitled "private dancing." Although much of the discussion on technique is identical to Blasis'S earlier treatise, Traité élémentaire théorique et pratique de l'art de la danse (1820), the manual is a comprehensive survey of ballet during the early nineteenth-century. 548 p 23 cm.

Hillgrove, ThomasA complete practical guide to the art of dancing. Containing descriptions of all fashionable and approved dances, full directions for calling the figures, the amount of music required; hints on etiquette, the toilet, etc.1863EJLPRBE#293 New York, Dick & Fitzgerald 1863. New York dancing master Hillgrove acknowledges that he has "availed himself of all the books from which he might elicit any valuable information." Indeed, very little of the manual is original. Divided into six parts, Hillgrove discusses the benefits of dance, dress, deportment and etiquette in the ballroom and the supper room. The second part focuses on bows and courtesies, positions of the feet, and provides exercises for the feet and legs. The third and fourth parts discuss the quadrille and provide many figures; the fifth part is devoted to round dances such as the waltz, polka, schottisch, galop, and polka mazurka. The last section focuses on more quadrille figures and other group dances such as the "Virginia Reel," "Money Musk," and College Hornpipe. 237 p 17 cm;LOC: GV1751.H63

The aim of this book is [...] to set forth clearly those dances which are in fashion at the present day, and some principles which may be useful to pupils who wish to learn "How and What to Dance." Such hints as are easily accessible to ordinary readers in other books have been rather lightly dealt with; others which I see reason to believe are insufficiently appreciated have been unforced at some length.
