Gregorio Lambranzi was an Italian dancing master, working in Venice
in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His New and Curious
School of Theatrical Dancing, originally published in two parts in
Nuremberg in 1716, gives details of more than one hundred
theatrical dances of the time, with the emphasis on the comic and
grotesque, many drawn from Commedia dell'arte characters. Also
included are dances suggested by various professions and trades,
and dances representing sports and pastimes. Each dance is
illustrated by a full page engraving by Johann Georg Puschner and
accompanied by a melody line of the music used and suggestions for
steps. Lambranzi's work thus provides a unique record of theatrical
dancing of his period. Unlike the Dover paperback edition this is a
laminated hardback edition, reproducing the original cover design
and with the plates printed one to a page.
