How to lead the German.
CREATED/PUBLISHED
New York, Dick & Fitzgerald [c1895]
SUMMARY
Devoted entirely to the performance of the German, a popular group dance that consisted of figures or party games, this manual provides instructions for the leader and appropriate etiquette for guests. Guests are admonished to pay attention to the leader, but, at the same time are warned against "a too dignified deportment," considered disastrous to the general "gratification." Directions for one hundred sixteen figures are given.
