Dance Figures Index: American Country Dances, 1710-1830

This resource is a guide to the basic figures in all American printed and manuscript longways country dances in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century sources. 2,738 dances were coded. In addition to the usual information such as title, page number, source name, and date, each dance was analyzed for its basic figures and number of active couples in the longways minor set.
