Opis

Scottish Dance Beyond 1805 presents a history of Scottish music and dance over the last 200 years, with a focus on sources originating in Aberdeenshire, when steps could be adapted in any way the dancer pleased. It explains the major changes of how dance was taught, and performed by highlighting a move to the professional, licensed teachers.

Recenzje

Scottish Dance beyond 1805 provides the reader with a glimpse into Scottish society and culture over a 200-year period through the lens of Scottish dance. The richness of the book lies in its detail and its intensive research and documentation of the history of dancing in this one region, the North-East of Scotland. It makes an important contribution to Scottish dance studies and to ethnomusicological and ethnochoreological research. It will be of interest to scholars and others in these fields and related areas, but also to Scottish dancers who may wish to understand the history of the dances that they learn, teach, and perform.
