Summary:	"The Dances of Shakespeare offers a brief introduction to the performance of the entire repertory of dance styles featured in Shakespeare's plays. Designed for the practicing director, actor, or choreographer, this book provides clear instructions on how to perform popular social dances of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including masques, brawls, canaries, corantos, galliards, jigs, La Volta (a favorite dance of Elizabeth I), pavans, morris dances, and roundels. Accompanied by charming illustrations, these instructions allow even amateur dancers to quickly master techniques to suit community, college, or semi-professional productions Drawing from the author's years of experience staging Shakespeare's plays, this book will be essential for all student directors and performers interested in producing Shakespeare's works."--Jacket
