‘Such dances are not reproved’ – or the Matter of Consent for Dance in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Era

Summary/Abstract: ‘Such dances are not reproved’– or the Matter of Consent for Dance in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Era” is based on original sources. The article is about liberalization of raw opinions on the subject of the dance and dancers in the Middle Ages and Early Modern World. Dance was one of the most meaningful ways of expressing one’s feelings. It was also a very enjoyable form of recreation, social closeness, or even a game filled with eroticism, a flirtation of dancers. And that is why dance and dancers were criticised. But as the dance knows no boundaries, it was practised very willingly by representatives of all social classes without exemption. And that was the main reason of appeasement of clerical critic’s hit her to existing opinion.
