Dr John Gardiner-Garden will introduce his 33 book magnum opus on social dances between 1400 and 1900 and speak about the process of dance reconstruction—from gathering sources, understanding relevant contexts and purposes, and identifying problems and solutions, to appreciating how dances evolved and how they often once had meaning and storylines.
