"Dance history is increasingly a part of dance studies in schools, in vocational colleges, and in degree courses in colleges of higher education, polytechnics, and universities. This important text, the first of its kind, describes the kinds of sources and methods that are the basis of dance history, from old photographs and costumes to manuscripts, and the information that they can reveal. It also guides the reader in approaching the history of different types of dance, from traditional and social dance to classical ballet. In addition, the possibilities of teaching dance history are explored, particularly in relation to devising curricula and writing up historical projects." -- from the back of the bookRelated Entities
