Excerpt from Dancing in All Ages
Athenaeus, Pausanias, the Roman historians, and, somewhat warily, Lucian. Among modern authors, I am indebted to Wilkinson, Birch, Rawlinson, Miiller, and Donaldson; while the technical writers who have afforded the greatest assistance are, I think, J ehan Tabouret, Rameau, and Noverre. The above mentioned, however, are only a few among many authors, ancient and modern, to whom due acknow ledgment is made in the text. To the observant reader it will also be evident that much information has been gathered from the study of sculptures, pottery, pictures, and other archaeological and modern exhibits to be found in museums and art galleries both at home and abroad.

The author takes a unique approach by examining the dances of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome separately, providing a detailed chronological account of their development. Beyond the mere steps and movements, the book explores the deeper cultural and social significance of dancing in these ancient societies. From the intricate Astronomic Dance of the Egyptians to the solemn emmeleia of the Greeks, dancing was often intertwined with religious rituals, social status, and even political events. The author sheds light on how these dances, sometimes performed in a state of heightened excitement or even intoxication, expressed the emotions and values of those who performed them. This insightful journey through time offers a fresh perspective on the artistry and significance of dancing throughout history, demonstrating its deep-rooted connection to human expression and cultural understanding.
