Originally published in 1963 and authored by the then Editor of the Dancing Times, this was a pioneer work discussing not only the origins and development of many social dance forms from early times, but also relating these forms to their environment. As well as its role in social history, the book analyses the role of dance as a prime creative power in Renaissance spectacles which depicted and celebrated diplomatic, military and regal occasions. After a wide-ranging introductory chapter on the origins of dancing, the book takes the reader through the centuries, discussing in turn the Basse Danse and the Moresco of the Middle Ages, the Pavane, Galliard and Courante of the 16th Century, the Minuet of the 17th & 18th, the Allemande, the Waltz and the Polka as well as Jazz, the Cha Cha Cha, the Jive and Twist.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V. RELIGIOUS, MYSTERIOUS, AND FANATICAL ELEMENTS IN DANCING. rpHERE are various Scriptural passages which tend to show that among the Jews dancing was always regarded as a becoming expression of religious fervour and joyful emotion. After a great victory over their enemies it was customary for the Israelitish women to welcome back their defenders with dances and songs of triumph. Of this we may find an example in the history of David, when, on his return from " the slaughter of the Philistine," the women came out from all the cities singing and dancing, "with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music," and aroused Saul's jealousy by comparing the thousands he had slain with the tens of thousands slain by David.* Another instance may be found in the tragic story of Jephtbah's * 1 Samuel xviii. daughter, who came dancing with gladness to meet her father after his subjection of the children of Ammon, little thinking, poor girl, that she was dancing to her death in consequence of the rash vow which Jephthah had made.* The dancing of Miriam and her maidens affer the passage of the Red Sea has been already referred to in connection with Egyptian dances; but the reader's attention may be called to an apocryphal passage from which we learn that after the victory of Judith over Holofernes the women of Israel assembled to meet her, "and made a dance among them for her," the words implying that it was arranged impromptu for the occasion. Then, we are told, they put a garland of olive upon Judith and her maid, and she herself "went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women," while the men followed in their armour, with garlands and songs.j Perhaps, however, the most familiar instance of dancing mentioned in the Old...

This new collection of essays surveys the history of dance in an innovative and wide-ranging fashion. Editors Dils and Albright address the current dearth of comprehensive teaching material in the dance history field through the creation of a multifaceted, non-linear, yet well-structured and comprehensive survey of select moments in the development of both American and World dance. This book is illustrated with over 50 photographs, and would make an ideal text for undergraduate classes in dance ethnography, criticism or appreciation, as well as dance history—particularly those with a cross-cultural, contemporary, or an American focus. The reader is organized into four thematic sections which allow for varied and individualized course use: Thinking about Dance History: Theories and Practices, World Dance Traditions, America Dancing, and Contemporary Dance: Global Contexts. The editors have structured the readings with the understanding that contemporary theory has thoroughly questioned the discursive construction of history and the resultant canonization of certain dances, texts and points of view. The historical readings are presented in a way that encourages thoughtful analysis and allows the opportunity for critical engagement with the text.
