This early work is a comprehensive study of the history of dance
thoroughly recommended for the bookshelf of the dance enthusiast.
Extensively illustrated with text and full page photographs. Its 160
pages are divided into five thorough sections: Basic Dance, Dance for
the Sake of the Dancer, Dance as a Spectacle, Dance as a Means of
Communication, and Dance in the Technological Era. Many of the earliest
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
