Book Reviews of Medieval and Renaissance Dances for Recorders, Dancers, and Hand Drums
Book Review: Questionable Historical Value
Summary: 2 Stars
I have not bothered to read this whole book, because from what I've seen so far, it is very poor quality as a source for historical dance. It is a blend of historical music, a few actual historical dances and steps, and just plain making it up. Since the true historical material is not well distinguished from the author's own embellishment in the text, it is especially misleading. This book is a poor resource for learning about true Medieval and Renaissance dance.
If you have a real interest in dance of these time periods, there are much better sources, even for beginners. I would suggest Orchesography
by Thoinot Arbeau or The English Dancing Master by John Playford, as they are actual historical sources for Renaissance dance.
