 The language of Spanish dance, a dictionary and reference manual.
Author: Matteo Published: 1993 A detailed technical manual of Spanish dance. Historically, the traditional core of Spanish dance has been transmitted primarily through the oral tradition - from one individual dancer or teacher or family to another. This has led to a rich multiplication of approaches, variations, inconsistencies, and contradictions, and also to the loss of dances, movements, patterns, and stylistic elements as patterns changed. In The language of Spanish dance Matteo takes this formidable mass of material, both historical and current, and organises it into some 800 terms that are presented in encyclopaedic format. |
