What was Playford Hiding?

The Lovelace Manuscript gives us a broader understanding of what English Country Dancing might have been like in the mid-1600s. Learn what Lovelace can teach us about the style of dance that Playford and all of his publications did not.

Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
