A comprehensive late-1870s American ballroom syllabus by a New York dancing master, with seven chapters: (I) Etiquette — Of the Parlor, Of the Ball-Room, Of the Street; (II) General Instructions — The Five Positions, The Salutation; (III) The Quadrilles — Standard (5 figures), Sociable, Basket, Coquette, Jig, Star, March, Waltz, Lanciers (5 figures), Saratoga Lanciers, Caledonians (5 figures), Prince Imperial, Parisian Varieties; (IV) Contra Dances — Spanish Dance, Sicilian Circle, Virginia Reel; (V) Round Dances — Waltz (Modern, Hop, Five-Step, Knickerbocker), Polka, Polka Mazourka, Redowa, Polka Redowa, Schottische, Galop, Deux Temps, Danish Dance, Esmeralda, Varsovienne; (VI) The German (cotillon — described as a leader-prompted programme of figures rather than a fixed dance); (VII) Music notation. Sause's text bridges the 1860s-1870s American ballroom tradition (Hillgrove 1857/1867, De Garmo 1865/1876, Beadle 1868) with the end-of-century consolidation period (Wilson 1899, Wirth 1902, Dodworth 1900). The Fancy Quadrille alternate-finale set (Basket/Coquette/Jig/Star/March) is given its most explicit five-way enumeration in the post-1865 American corpus.Year: 1879Family: sauseCatalog: local
