Sandra Stevens is an independant scholar focusing on social dance history, from 16th to 20th century.
On the one hand, it seeks to raise public awareness of early dance by analysing contemporary works (movies, shows) in the light of current historical knowledge.
On the other, she seeks to deepen this knowledge by studying works from the period (caricatures, books, poems, etc.). She is also working on reconstructing dances, particularly those published in England (John Playford’s Dancing Master), the early Netherlands (Belgium/Netherlands during 18th century) and France during the Belle Epoque (1885-1914).
