La Redowa — Valse Bohémienne, as danced in the Parisian Saloons and taught by Monsieur Jules Martin, Philadelphia (Burgmüller music, c.1850)

Dance manual/reference by Sheet-music-bound dance instruction pamphlet published in Philadelphia c.1850. Dance instruction by Monsieur Jules Martin (Philadelphia); music composed by F. Burgmüller (Friedrich Burgmüller, 1806-1874, the same composer of the popular Études Op. 100 piano studies). Cover credits the Redowa as 'A NEW Bohemian Waltz, as danced in the Parisian Saloons,' placing the pamphlet within 4-8 years of the Redowa's 1846 European introduction (cf. Coulon 1846 London introduction, Cellarius's Paris codification of the same period). Cover price 25 cents net. Source: Richard Powers collection (POWERS/La_Redowa.txt — 14 lines OCR; cover + 3 figure descriptions). Three named figures of the Redowa: Promenade (Allemande Step opening); Principal Step (3-step glissade-slide-bring proper); Poursuite (compound slide-coupé-jeté pursuit, gentleman pursues lady in waltz hold). Each sequence danced for 16 bars before the couples change step simultaneously. The Promenade-Principal-Poursuite decomposition is distinctive of the Martin/Burgmüller pedagogy and is not captured by any of the existing 31 H-GAB-RED canonicals. Documents the Franco-American Redowa transmission — Martin's Philadelphia teaching brings Cellarius/Coulon's Parisian-saloon Redowa to mid-19c US ballroom practice, paralleling the Hillgrove 1857/1863 (LOC-1857/1863-HILLGROVE) and Howe 1858 (LOC-1858-HOWE) American attestations of the same dance. Has_Step_Detail = Partial (explicit step names + foot direction + 16-bar timing; pre-Cellarius mid-19c American ballroom vocabulary; no CBM/sway/rise-and-fall — pre-Silvester technical nomenclature). (1850). Imported from local collection.
