Long abstractThe chapter examines various revival movements engaged with the minuet in the Nordic countries. The term revival refers here to attempts and efforts to bring back into practice dances that are about to lose their position as regular social dances. They may also have been out of use so long that they can only be reconstructed from descriptions or composed as new dances with references to historical sources. In particular, the chapter discusses the activities of dance groups whose repertoires mainly consist of historical dances of upper classes.
