Bodies in Motion: Dance, Movement, Gesture
In pursuit of this interest and broadening its methodological complexity, this present issue of Martor proposes a group of studies on the theme of bodies in motion, hence the focus here on dance. This subject brings, in addition to theoretical challenges that arise in scholarly discussion and analysis of the moving body, a discipline-specific prerequisite (a feature shared with ethnomusicological research) that adds an extra level of theoretical …

How the Waltz was Won: Transmutations and the Acquisition of Style in Early English Modern Ballroom Dancing. Part Two: The Waltz Regained
Part One of this study on the transmutation of the Victorian waltz into the modern English waltz of the early 1920s examined the labile social and choreographic climate of social dancing in London's fashionable ballrooms before, during and just after World War One. The article ended with the teachers’ unsatisfactory effort to characterise the features of a distinctively modern waltz style in response to a widespread discourse to recover and adapt…
How the Waltz was Won: Transmutations and the Acquisition of Style in Early English Modern Ballroom Dancing. Part One: Waltzing Under Attack
This two-part article examines the contested transition in London's fashionable ballrooms from the established Victorian rotary waltz to the modern English waltz of the early 1920s. Existing scholarship on the dance culture of this period and locale has tended to focus on issues of national identity, gender, race, class and the institutionalisation of popular dance practices. Although these are of profound significance and are here integrated int…
Dance and Cultural Memory: Interpreting Fin de Siècle Performances of ‘Olde England’
In late Victorian and Edwardian England, there existed in performance and in popular historical imagination, a cultural memory of the nation's ancient dances. This national repertoire had largely been constructed through nineteenth-century romantic imagery of ‘olde’ and ‘merrie’ England and appeared across a wide variety of genres and contexts. Alongside the morris, country and maypole dances were courtly dances such as the minuet and gavotte whi…
Crompton's Campaign: The Professionalisation of Dance Pedagogy in Late Victorian England
In late Victorian England, dance teachers lacked national representation and means of communication among themselves to address professional concerns. By 1930, at least ten professional associations had emerged in Britain, some of which, such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), The British Association of Teachers and Dancing (BATD) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), are still active today. Little has been written about the w…
Edward Scott: The Last of the English Dancing Masters
From the mediaeval period to the early twentieth century, fashionable European dance culture was quietly dominated by the figure of the dancing master. For several centuries, he had played a pivotal role in crossing the terrains of theatre, court and the wider social sphere, disseminating and sometimes creating new dance fashions while acting as advocate for the social, artistic and historical value of the art of dancing. His slow decline in infl…
Dance, Authenticity and Cultural Memory: The Politics of Embodiment
L'A. examine les aspects sociohistoriques et symboliques de deux danses rituelles telles qu'il a pu en faire l'analyse ethnographique en Grande-Bretagne dans les annees 1970 et 1980 : la danse des cornes (de rennes) - Horn Dance - a Abbots Bromley (Staffordshire), et la danse de la noix de coco - Coconut Dance - a Bacup (Lancashire). Revenant notamment sur la question de la tension entre historicite et memoire culturelle, il centre son propos sur…

All Dances Are Ethnic, but Some Are More Ethnic Than Others: Some Observations on Dance Studies and Anthropology
Throughout the twentieth century, but increasingly in the last decades, dance scholarship has drawn upon a number of disciplines. In a notable shift away from the predominant study of choreographers, dancers and repertoire, more recent literature has focused upon the roles which cultural factors may play in the production of dance. Examples which spring to mind are the edited collections by Foster (1996), Thomas (1993, 1997), Desmond (1997), and …
Institutions and Ideology in the Dissemination of Morris Dances in the Northwest of England
In northwest England, during the early nineteenth century, morris dancing was performed annually by young adult men in the context of a procession which called attention to the health, wealth, number, and strength of a community's menfolk. After the First World War, morris dancing could still be seen as a form of public display in the region, but it had also become the province of children of both sexes. This age and gender revision coincided wit…
Black Faces, Garlands, and Coconuts: Exotic Dances on Street and Stage
During the late 1920s, representatives from the English Folk Dance Society came across an unusual custom in a narrow valley in the northwest of England. Every Easter a small group of men would dance through the local streets, accompanied by a silver band and led by a whip-carrier who cleared a space in which they could perform. On the face of it such ceremonial activity was similar to the annual practices of English morris and sword dancers whose…
