Folk-dances and singing games; Dances of the people
This 1909 New York collection by Elizabeth Burchenal, published by G. Schirmer, records folk dances and singing games for teachers and students of physical education. The photographs show dancers in mid-motion on a plain rooftop or yard against a brick wall, with the costumes and steps captured clearly enough for a designer to borrow the poses, dress silhouettes and rhythmic group formations.
