Description: Originally published in 1767 under the title Die Kunst nach der Choregraphie zu Tänze, Feldtenstein's manual utilizes text and tables to describe basic steps.  The work includes figures for country dances and quadrilles, and a variety of national dances as well as figures and music for four contredanses.  This manual is especially important for its description of the minuet as a duet and its subsequent change into a group dance.
