The article discusses books and authors. "World History of the Dance" by author Curt Sachs is certainly one of the most important books that can be read about the dance in general, and in particular about the dances of primitive peoples and the emergent social dances of the Renaissance. It is called a "World History of the Dance," but it is something rather different from what its title indicates. Upon a solid base of colossal industry, erudition, and scientific organization the thief root types of the dance are set and analyzed in a frame which exemplifies the best German scholarship of recent date.
