Book Synopsis The Complete System of English Country Dancing, Containing All the Figures Ever Used in English Country Dancing by : Thomas Wilson (Dancing master)
Book excerpt: Originally published in 1808 and expanded in 1811 under the title An analysis of country dancing, this edition borrows extensively from earlier editions. As with earlier editions, the figures for English country dances are explained through text, tables, and diagrams. Performed as a series of figures danced by a column of men facing a column of women, the English country dance was one of the most popular early nineteenth-century ballroom dances. This edition contains an extensive discussion on music with ten musical examples scored for a treble instrument.
