For 17th century dancers,
By onlywabbit@yahoo.com (Espoo, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: English Dancing Master (Paperback)
To my fellow reader I give my heartly welcome.John Playford is one of the most know dance teacher all times. So this book is a must to everyone who is starting or has danced historical dances. Music is no problem if you know how to play violin or recorder, because there are notes for every dance. If you don't know how to play that isn't a problem at all. In the internet you can find freely copyable music to almost every dance. English country dances are easy and fun to dance. And you have to use your head in these dances that is very different to modern discodancing. So buy the book, start to dance it keeps dementia away. Happy dancing.

Excellent usable guide to 17th century dance,
By Judi James (Lake Jackson, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: English Dancing Master (Paperback)
The English Dancing Master has been most useful to our theater company in staging authentic ancient dance. The single line of melody in standard music notation is easy for musicians to use. The dance instructions are clear and make it easy for a small group to learn the dance. The dances are beautiful, and there is a wide variety of styles and partnering.

Right to the Source,
By James Armstrong - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: English Dancing Master (Paperback)
This is it, the oldest original source for English Country dances, complete with sheet music, diagrams, and instructions. Of course, it's all public domain material available for free on the web, but it's handy to be able to carry the book around with you, and it's even small enough to hold in one hand while you're dancing.
