Gawlikowski, Philippe.

CREATED/PUBLISHED
Paris, Taride, 1858.

SUMMARY
Gawlikowski's excellent manual for description of mid nineteenth-century social dances discusses steps and figures for the mazurka, a dance performed in the manner of a quadrille in Europe's ballrooms. Description is also given for other popular ballroom dances including the waltz, polka, schottisch, polka-mazurka, and redowa. Gawlikowski provides thirty-eight figures for a contillon-valse (known elsewhere as the cotillon or German), a popular group dance performed as a series of party games usually to waltz music.
