Publisher: 'Kort Anvisning' [Short Introduction] to the Dantse-Exercitii (Dance-Exercise) — a Danish-language abridged translation by Lieutenant Henrich Hieronymi of the Cavalleriet-Guard of the three fundamental Taubert pedagogical units from Gottfried Taubert's 1717 Leipzig 'Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister' (see LOC-1717-TAUBERT). Published at Copenhagen (Kiobenhavn), Lyngby-press Pil [Peter Hilander Pil], 1742, under the Imprimatur of P. Horrebow (Copenhagen University censor) and dedicated to an unnamed 'Excellence' who was a Copenhagen-regional Amtmand over Soroe Amt and Director of the Oresunds-Told-Kammer.

STRUCTURE: Imprimatur + Dedication + preface 'Til den gunstige Lesere' + 'Om Decoro corporis eller Legemets Velanstaendighed i Almindelighed' + 'Om Decoro corporis i Saerdelig' + three main pedagogical parts: (1) 'Regel-maeflig at staae eller baere Legemet' — 10 rules for correct standing posture (feet turned out, heels closed, knees straight, stomach in, chest forward, shoulders down-and-back, arms at side, head straight, eyes level, neck free); (2) 'Regel-rette Gang' — 5 rules for correct walking (lift heel first, point toe down, extend leg one foot-length forward, set foot flat with heel closed to back-foot ankle, transfer body weight smoothly); (3) 'Regelmaeflig Reverence' — subdivided into six types: (3a) Mands Reverence tilbage (Man's backward reverence, 3 Tempi, 4+5+4 remarks); (3b) Fruentimmerets Reverence tilbage (Woman's backward reverence, 2 Tempi, 5+2 remarks); (3c) Mands Reverence frem ad (Man's forward reverence); (3d) Fruentimmerets Reverence frem ad (Woman's forward reverence); (3e) Visit-Reverence (combined forward+backward + hand-raising-to-mouth / kneeling-to-floor for high-rank persons); (3f) Audience-Reverence (for Kings and Princes — walk backwards 3-5 steps making 3 deep reverences). Hieronymi's preface cites Locke 'Von Unterricht der Kinder' §67&196, Seneca 'Stultissimus est qui hominem ex vestibus aestimat', Garzoni 'Piazza', Milton's 'Ballet of Comus', Chrysippus, Virgil 'Ateneris adsuescere multum', Plautus 'Simia est simia etii aurea gestet insignia', Martial 'Nafutus fis usqve licet', confirming a Copenhagen University classical-humanist intellectual environment supporting the introduction of French-Italian dance-pedagogy to 1740s Denmark. Notes 'faa Blade' (few pages) compared to Taubert's original 24-Bogen-folio 1717 Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister; explicitly self-positions as a 'repetition-use for Scholarer' abridgement. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: the FIRST DANISH-LANGUAGE published primer on the Beauchamp-Taubert-Rameau pedagogical inheritance; documents the 25y Dresden-Leipzig -> Copenhagen transmission of Taubert's 1717 'Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister' step-pedagogy.

Denmark's 1740s adoption of the 'noble Dantse-Exercitium' reflects the Christian-VI-era Copenhagen court's pivoted re-orientation from Lutheran-pietist austerity toward Francophile ballroom etiquette (following the 1730s-40s Francophone cultural turn of Nordic courts).
