Overview of my research and publications

The things that accumulate over a dancing life...
Over the years, an extensive archive of historical sources, dance descriptions, and choreographic notations has emerged. This overview bundles my ongoing research and offers all interested parties an entry into the multifaceted world of dance history. Please understand that detailed databases, specific step reconstructions, and in-depth scripts are exclusively reserved for my event participants and students, and remain password-protected.
