Pre-Classic
Dance -- sources and Influence
Ballroom dance instruction manuals from the early 1700s
are treasures of the Dance Division. They were revived as a
teaching tool for modern dance during the 1930s in Louis Horst's
influential composition courses. More recently, reconstructors
of early dance and choreographers from ballet, modern and post-modern
dance have all learned from pavannes and sarabands
