In her newest book, musicologist and dance historian Jennifer Neville has made a substantial contribution to our knowledge of early seventeenth-century dance and its social and political importance in the towns and cities of Western Europe. [...] Neville's opening his notebook to us is a gift to dance research. Judith Rock, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 6, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 183-186. Footprints of the Dance is a valuable addition to dance studies, extending our understanding of the professional life of a dancing master, the choreographic activities of the time and the interaction of dance with other cultural elements such as pyrotechnics, health and travel. The analysis and contextualisation draw on extensive understanding of early modern dance and the culture of Brussels. Through it, readers will derive an excellent understanding of this special manuscript. Anne Daye, in: Historical Dance, Vol. 4 ,No. 4 (January 2021).
