Pierre Rameau's Le Maitre a Danser is the standard work on the
technique of eighteenth century dancing. It was first published in
Paris in 1725, and bore the printed recommendation of the
celebrated dancer and maitre de ballet Louis Pecour. As a guide to
contemporary social etiquette in the ballroom, the dances that were
in vogue, the various steps and arm movements that were in use and
how they were executed, Rameau's book is an invaluable source of
information. For although the eighteenth century saw the
publication of a number of books on dancing which record the steps
and arm movements used in contemporary dances, they do not explain
how the steps were to be carried out, and this information was
first made available in Le Maitre a Danser. This edition is a
facsimile of the translation made by the great dance scholar and
historian Cyril Beaumont, and first published by him in book form
in 1931.
