Description
Book digitized by Google from the library of Harvard University and uploaded to the Internet Archive by user tpb. Music: 1 l. at end This manual was originally published in 1864 with subsequent editions in 1865, 1866, and 1868 when the author noted that many of the dances were no longer fashionable. Typical of other late nineteenth-century manuals, much of the text is borrowed from other writers. The manual provides a brief section on etiquette and describes the popular ballroom dances of the era--quadrille, polka redowa, polka mazurka, schottisch, galop, and cotillon. Reflecting a growing interest in the dances of the past, De Garmo provides directions and music for the "Menuet de la Cour." The manual was reissued in 1884
