The work delves into various aspects of dance, from its historical significance to its technical execution, aiming to elevate the understanding and appreciation of dance as a serious artistic endeavor. Gallini’s treatise serves not only as an educational manual for dancers but also as a philosophical reflection on the cultural importance of dance throughout history. The opening of the treatise begins with an acknowledgment of the challenges faced by a dancing master in advocating for the art, emphasizing gratitude and the desire for recognition within the field. Gallini then discusses the relished practice of dance in ancient cultures, particularly among the Greeks and Romans, who incorporated it into religious rituals and public celebrations. The text asserts that dancing is an expression of joy and vitality, exploring both the physical grace required and the intellectual understanding necessary to execute dance effectively. Gallini establishes a foundation for the remaining discussions, which will take a closer look at different dance styles, techniques, and the cultural ethos surrounding the art.
