Title: Powell's art of dancing
Description: In an attempt to inspire his readers who were located far from the United States' urban, eastern cultural centers, Powell notes that dance "has not improved, except in the larger cities." Of primary interest is the author's dance notation, a type of shorthand that he utilized to describe bows, curtsies, and quadrilles.
Subjects: Notation for Dance, Ballroom dancing, Handbooks, manuals, Dance Instruction and Technical Manuals
