Acknowledgements: Thanks to Richard Powers, Yuriy Chernyshov, Loren Kropat, Robert M. Keller, Meredith Little & Carol G. Marsh, Francine Lancelot, Paul Cooper, Mike Gilavert, and the many others who have walked and catalogued the dusty stacks of historical social dance before me. Their pioneering work in the field have given this project a particularly solid foundation to build on.
