    About this ebook

    This vintage book is a treatise on ritualistic dancing. It delves into the fascinating history of dancing in ancient societies and explores its development within religions ceremonies throughout the ages from the ancient Egyptians to modern Christianity. “The History Of Dance - Ritual Dance” is highly recommended for those with an interest in the relationship between dance and religion and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dance.
