Long abstractThe chapter investigates the role of the dancing master and their teaching of the minuet in the Nordic countries in the latter part of the eighteenth century and onwards. The focus is on the role they played and the material they used when they taught the minuet. The chapter draws on examples from Norway and the other Nordic countries and includes some short case studies of both female and male dance teachers.
