Coleccion de Bailes de Sala, y metodo para aprenderlos sin auxilio de maestro, dedicada a la juventud Mexicana (Domingo Ibarra; Mexico, Tipografia de Nabor Chavez, 1862, Segunda Edicion).

FIRST Mexican Spanish-language ballroom manual in LOD corpus. 5,679-line OCR (Internet Archive scan) of 90-page imprint with 6 lithographed plates and 10 piano-forte musical compositions specially commissioned for the work. Dedicatory correspondence (Benito Soto / Ignacio Herrera / Domingo Ibarra, dated Guadalupe-y-Calvo Enero 1858 - Mexico-City Marzo 1858) frames the work as a remote-mining-camp-family practical guide addressing absence of dance-master access in Mexican provincial society. Preface laments lack of a Mexican Conservatory and references "el inteligente maestro D. Andres Pautret" as a prior generation of Mexican dance-pedagogy. Has_Step_Detail = No (figure-prose with general step-foundations chapter; no foot-position / Rise-and-Fall / CBM / sway data). Indice (p.83-end) lists 14 dance treatments: Wals (p.12), Contradanza (p.15), Danza Habanera (p.17), Polka (p.18), Scotisk (p.20), Polka-Mazurca (p.21), Varsoviana (p.23), Camelina (p.25), Contradanza Camelina (p.28), Polka-Camelina (p.29), Mazurca de Tertulia (p.30), Cuadrillas Francesas (p.37), Cuadrillas de los Nuevos Lanceros (p.43), Cuadrillas de la Cracoviana (p.50), Cuadrillas de la Guerra de Rusia o el Incendio de Moscou en el ano de 1812 (p.57). COHORT PLACEMENT: Spanish-American ballroom-manual cohort -- earliest Mexican-imprint entry, predating LOC-1900-MOORE / LOC-1908-DESCONOCIDO / LOC-1928-LITZ Spanish-language imports. Sits cross-temporally with the American 19c amateur ballroom manual cohort (LOC-1841-HUESTIS / LOC-1857-HILLGROVE / LOC-1858-HOWE / LOC-1862-HOWE / LOC-1863-WASHBURN). The 1862 imprint year coincides exactly with the French Intervention in Mexico (1862-1867) -- a period of intense French-cultural-presence in Mexico paradoxically producing anti-Napoleonic historical-themed quadrillas (Guerra de Rusia 1812).
