Brooks, C. (Professor)

The ball-room monitor, or, Guide to the learner; containing the most complete sets of quadrilles ever published. Ball-room monitor By Professor C. Brooks. - 3d ed., with additions. - Philadelphia, J. H. Johnson [c1866] - 63 p. 13 cm.

Like many other nineteenth-century dance manuals, much of the material in The Ball-room monitor is not original but is borrowed from previously published sources. The manual, which would fit into a pocket, contains information on quadrilles (called cotillions by Brooks), waltz, polka redowa, and schottisch. Additionally, the manual contains numerous variety quadrilles--polka quadrilles, schottisch quadrilles, Polaca quadrilles, Varsoviana quadrilles, and a mazurka quadrille.
