Added contentspage for P.J.S. Richardson's C18th dance book

New page

P.J.S. Richardson was President, Official Board of Ballroom dancing and Vice-President, Royal Adademy of Dancing. He was described by Victor Sylvester as the 'doyen' of the dancing profession. Although he was associated in most people's minds with ballroon dancing, his knowledge of the history of dance in Europe makes him a useful source of information about the dances that now form part of the modern country dance repertoire.
