This vintage book is a comprehensive treatise on the history of dancing, by Edward Ferrero. Edward Ferrero (1831-1899) was a seminal dance teacher and choreographer in America. "The History of Dancing" provides fascinating insights into the development and influence of dance throughout history. This volume is highly recommended for those with a keen interest in dance and would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. Contents include: "Dancing Defined", "The Reciprocal Usefulness of Music and Dancing", "Opposition to the Latter by Theologians and the Fathers", "Prohibition of Councils", "Ordinance of the Church and the Vaudois", "Marvels from the 'Speculum Historiale'", "Denunciation of the Later puritans", "Expulsion of Dancers from Rome", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
