Thread Name: Origins: Bear Dance
Subject: RE: Origins: Bear Dance
I've just gone cover to cover in the 1690/1691 Apollo's Banquet and there is no Bear's Dance in it.

Here are the contents, for those who don't believe me. In The Third Part of Apollo's Banquet numbers 52 through 68 are not in numerical order--they must have been bound wrong. They are shown below in the order in which they were bound:

To which is added, The Tunes of the newest French Dances, now used at Court and in Dancing-Schools. The Sixth Edition, with new Additions.   In the Savoy: Printed by E. Jones, for Henry Playford at his Shop near the Temple Church, and at his House over against the Blue-Ball in Arundel Street in the Strand, 1690.
