Dancing through the Ages Overview and Companions-a

Dancing through the Ages is work consisting of 33 books.  Each book consists of between 220 and 440 (average 330+) double-sided A4 pages. The 10,000 plus pages of the work offer background on, reconstruction of, and chorded music for nearly 1,000 dances from between from 1400 to 1900, as well as extensive notes analysing links between these dances, the evolution of dance forms, movement ideas and notation systems through this 500 period, and the changing nature of ball culture and dance sources in countries across the old and new word.  The whole is supported by thousands of quotations, diagrams and illustrations from original sources.

Here below are the covers and contents to

—Book 1: Orientation and Overview that includes full acknowledgments, a consolidated contents, a bibliography of secondary scholarship, a history of dance leading up to 1400, and sections on the purpose of dance and scope of this work, on story-lines and ideas that have persisted through 500 years of dance, and on continuities and changes in the nature of balls and dance forms. 

—Book 32 and 33,  Companion 1: 1400-1750 and Companion 2: 1750-1900 which are mostly in black so as to disappear on stage and have sturdy spiral binding and offer easy music-stand access to essential music and dance instruction extracts from Volumes I-V and Volumes VI-IX respectively. 

For the covers and contents of the 30 volumes in between the ‘Overview’ and ‘Companion’ books see the subpages that follow under this menu. 

To order any or all of the books in this 33 book series go to Lulu.com - AUS$35 (about USD$25) for any of book 1 to 31, AUS$45 (USD$33) for book 32&33- plus postage, which will diminish with the more books in your order. As your books will be printed and despatched to you from the nearest Lulu printer on your continent, you will not be paying for overseas shipping and will not be waiting long for the books to arrive. Orders are normally filled at local postage rates within a week.  

N.B. I recommend that in addition to books pertaining to the period you first think of, you also order books from the adjacent period collections and Book 1: 'Orientation and Overview' .  Indeed, because of the interconnectivity of dance over the 500 years covered by this series (and the cross-referencing between books in the series), I highly recommend the full set!

If you are able to collect from our home in Canberra Australia, I may be able to offer you a special no-postage price on a full-set. Phone 62811098 or email us
