Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Dancing Of late years there has been a tendency, not only on the stage, but also in the ball-rooms, to wander from the polished graces of our ancestors, and to introduce, in the former, certain styles of dancing that are far from graceful, such as cake-walks, high-kicking, and other extravagant forms which can only debase the art; and in the latter, a wild and irresponsible romping, which has made such expres sions as Kitchen Lancers a bye-word. In this book I have endeavoured to show from what beautiful origins many of our dances have sprung, and how the great dancers of the past were wont to associate with their dances the poetry and noble thoughts that were the theme round which their skill revolved. In tracing the history of the subject I have found an almost entirely new field to work upon, for with the exception of two books, one by a Frenchman.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter X. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD'S DANCERS. "When you do dance I wish you A wave o' th1 sea, that you might ever do Nothing but that." "Winters Tale," Act iv. 8. HISTORY of dancing necessarily involves an account, however small, of those men and women who by their individual genius and skill have assisted in the making of that history. For as the life history of each great dancer of the world was unrolled, so too did the history of dancing itself advance, for each of the dancers brought their tribute in the shape of some fresh movement, some hitherto unknown step, or some new invention for the general good of the art, and with each name is thus associated a page in the history of dancing. Pylades and Bathyllos, the great Roman dancers, Scaliger the scholar and antiquarian, even Henry VIII. and, Anne, wife of James I., have all helped in their several ways; while musicians, directors of ceremonies, and balletmasters innumerable, have also added their quota to the general store; but it is only when we come to the later periods, the times when dancing began to be regarded more seriously, to be regarded as a distinct and not unimportant art, that the real makers of its history came u pon the scene. To France, as is only right, belongs the earliest of the notable dancers, Noverre, who was born in Paris in 1727. He made his debut at Fontainebleau, at the Royal Theatre, in 1743, when only sixteen years old, and within a year had become famous. In 1755 he came over to London at the special invitation of Garrick, and remained in England for two years, dancing in most of the important operas produced during that period. After leaving London he lived for some time in Lyons, holding a post as Director of Ballets, and while there he published...

Book excerpt: CHAPTER I Egyptian, Assyrian, Hebrew and Phoenician Dancing. CHAPTER II Dancing with the Greeks. CHAPTER III Etruscan-South Italian, Roman Dancing, etc. CHAPTER IV The "Early English" and "Mediaeval" dance to the fourteenth century. CHAPTER V Society dancing from the fifteenth century. CHAPTER VI The Modern Theatre Dance. In this work it is not necessary to worry the reader with speculations as to the origin of dancing. There are other authorities easily accessible who have written upon this theme. Dancing is probably one of the oldest arts. As soon as man was man he without doubt began to gesticulate with face, body, and limbs. How long it took to develop bodily gesticulation into an art no one can guess--perhaps a millennium.

Download or read book A History of Dancing written by Sir Reginald St.-Johnston and published by . This book was released on 1906 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Johnston claims that his book fills a gap in the documentation 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 same information found in numerous other historiographies of the era. The author considers the birth of stage dancing to be Kate Vaughan's "Skirt Dance." Another opinion expressed by St. Johnston is the erroneous notion that the quadrille was one of the dances that directly followed the minuet. As was common during this era, the author maintains a strict western bias with chapter titles such as "Quaint Dances in Civilized Countries."
Download or read book Dance written by Carol Wallace and published by New York : Metropolitan Museum of Art : Rizzoli. This book was released on 1986 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twirling figures, gloved hands clasped, the strains of the violin..." These words from the first essay in this delightful book could be describing an eighteenth-century minuet performed by aristocratic guests at a Versailles ball, a nineteenth-century cotillion of white-gowned debutantes in new York, or a stylish moment created on the silver screen by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The steps and the music and the dresses may vary, but the exciting and elegant sight of society enjoying itself on the dance floor has persisted through the ages. In this book, published to coincide with an exhibition held at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art under the direction of Diana Vreeland, four authors look at the subject of social dancing from four different points of view. Carol McD. Wallace surveys the great balls and dancing parties of Europe, England, and America from the eighteenth century to the present, while Don McDonagh describes the dance steps themselves, from the early basse danze of Italy to the twist of modern-day America. Jean Druesedow, associate curator in charge of the Costume Institute, discusses the evolution of the ball gown and other costumes designed for dancing, and Laurence Libin, curator of musical instruments, assisted by Constance Old, analyzes the way in which dance has been depicted in works of art through the centuries. Illustrated with paintings, works of decorative art, contemporary prints and photographs, these lively essays re-create the rhythmic energy, the social proprieties, the colorful costumes and anecdotes of dances and dancers past and present. -- from dust jacket.
