It explains the major changes of how dance was taught, and performed by highlighting a move to the professional, licensed teachers.Scottish Dance beyond 1805 provides the reader with a glimpse into Scottish society and culture over a 200-year period through the lens of Scottish danceThe richness of the book lies in its detail and its intensive research and documentation of the history of dancing in this one region, the North-East of Scotland.
