Pre-Classic Dance Forms is a book written by Louis Horst that explores the history and development of dance forms prior to the classical ballet era. The book delves into the origins of dance in ancient civilizations and cultures, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and how these early forms of dance influenced the development of modern dance. Horst also examines the role of dance in religious ceremonies and rituals, as well as its use in storytelling and entertainment. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of various dance forms, including folk dances, court dances, and social dances, and provides insight into the cultural significance and symbolism behind each form. Pre-Classic Dance Forms is a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the history and evolution of dance, and is a valuable resource for dancers, choreographers, and dance enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
