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. Ebook Edition Note: Ebook edition note: Five essays have been redacted, including “The Belly Dance: Ancient Ritual to Cabaret Performance,” by Shawna Helland; “Epitome of Korean Folk Dance”, by Lee Kyong-Hee; “Juba and American Minstrelsy,” by Marian Hannah Winter; “The Natural Body,” by Ann Daly; and “Butoh: ‘Twenty Years Ago We Were Crazy, Dirty, and Mad’,”by Bonnie Sue Stein. Eleven of the 41 illustrations in the book have also been redacted.

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...

"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.
