Book excerpt: To any lover of the dance the exotic rhythms of the Portuguese folk dances must have an irresistible fascination. Mrs. Armstrong, who has lived in Portugal for many years and made a special study of Portuguese dancing, gives in this book a delightful description of the traditional dances, with their intricate figures, sudden leaps and turns in the air, and above all their endless variety and improvisation. Travelling to remote villages, often under conditions of some difficulty, she has gathered her material from sources where traditions are still fresh and living. From the Vira in the north to the complicated waltz figures of the Tagus fisherfolk, she has seen them all, and her enthusiasm stands out on every page. Not only has the author seen and described the dances, but she has also taken detailed notes. This book contains music and step notation for four of the best and most typical of the country dances of Portugal, and four beautiful colour-plates show the costumes appropriate to each.

Download or read book Dances of Portugal Classic Reprint written by Lucile Armstrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dances of Portugal East of Castelo Branco the village of Malpica owns a fine dance group, full of life. Their lovely costume with water pleated skirts - the material wetted, pleated, and the pleats held in place by stones till dry - and chemises water-pleated also, and the hair plaited into a basket-shape, is, alas, rapidly falling into disuse. Here, Nature with her rolling country, rye fields and evergreen oaks, all clean and dry, makes for spotless cleanliness among the peasants. In the Estréla mountains we find cold, huddled living conditions, people seeking warmth before cleanliness. The dances of Beira have much in common with each other, for they are variations of the fundamental triple step, used with raised arms and click ing fingers, and are chiefly in ring formation. With this recreational style we find a few ritual Maypole dances, chiefly towards the Spanish frontier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
