About the project
The Historical Dance Association (hda.org.ru) is a specialized resource dedicated to the study and popularization of the choreography of past eras. The site acts as a centralized knowledge base for researchers, dancers, and educators interested in historical reenactment.
The project brings together disparate sources: from translations of old textbooks to modern scientific articles. There is no place for commerce or entertainment content here, the focus is strictly academic. The materials cover the period from the Renaissance to the 19th century, which allows us to trace the evolution of dance forms over several centuries.
Main directions
The site's content is structured to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced professionals. In the Dance Descriptions section you can find specific instructions for performing:
- Minuet- including interpretation from the textbook by P. -O. Josson and the features of the step of the late 17th - early 18th centuries.
- Contredances - a detailed analysis of the structure and steps of French country dances of the second half of the 18th century.
- Allemande- description according to the method of dance master Robert.
- Polka- a general reference article covering basic principles.
Special attention is paid to musical accompaniment and scientific research. The site publishes translations and commentaries on the works of such figures as Gottfried Taubert and Moira Goff (an article about the dance masters of London in the first half of the 18th century). Also available are chapters from Philip Richardson's books on social dancing in 19th-century England and material from André Laurent's Livre de Contredance.
Features of the site
The uniqueness of the resource lies in its systematic approach to certification. The association conducts exams on different historical periods, which is confirmed by a news feed with inspection dates: from the Renaissance to the 19th century. For example, the results of certifications for May 2025 and plans for July of the same year are mentioned.
The site actively uses multimedia: there is a section with the latest videos and even integration with Livejournal for faster community communication. A glossary helps you understand specific terminology, and a quotation book collects excerpts from key sources.
Interestingly, the project is not limited to text. There is Book 8220;Dances for the Sun King8221;, which deals with the choreography of the era of Louis XIV. This shows the depth of the authors' immersion in the details of costume and behavior of the aristocracy.
