About this Item

Title

  • Call book of modern quadrilles

Summary

  • The author of this manual declares that "every person should be able to dance ... quadrilles without the aid of a 'caller.'"

The work also includes three waltz quadrilles (one is set for three couples) that are credited to the well-known dancing master E. W. Masters of Boston.
