During the 1800s, dance and etiquette manuals provided ordinary men
and women with the keys to becoming gentlemen and ladies--and thus
advancing in society. Why dance? To the insecure and
status-oriented upper middle class, the ballroom embodied the
perfect setting in which to demonstrate one's fitness for
membership in genteel society. From the Ballroom to Hell collects
over 100 little-known excerpts from dance, etiquette, beauty, and
fashion manuals from the nineteenth century. Included are
instructions for performing various dances, as well as musical
scores, costume patterns, and the proper way to hold one's posture,
fork, gloves, and fan. While of particular interest to dancers,
dance historians, and choreographers, anyone fascinated by the ways
and mores of the period will find From the Ballroom to Hell an
endearing and informative glimpse of America's past.
