Great
News!
We have a new eight shelf bookcase now installed
within the library and with much juggling of filing
cabinets, a further two sections to be added soon.
Unfortunately,
all the prints of the famous Dancing Masters of
the past will have to be taken down, but I am
hoping to find a space to hang them again later.
The
new shelves are filled with some of the wonderful
collection from London College and over the summer
months I hope to be able to empty all the boxes
and find room on the library shelves for the remaining
volumes.
The
majority of duplicate publications will be going
on to the library sale shelves, so if anyone is
planning a visit to headquarters, I strongly recommend
a quick look through the sale collection to find
bargains in out of print books on all dance disciplines.

translated from the 1803 St Petersburg edition.
“…his arguments are fundamental
to all critical thinking about dance, and
should be as familiar to the dancer as Shakespeare
is to the actor”.
