Section One covers primary influences such as Irish step dancing, English clog dancing and African dancing. Section Two covers theatrical influences (early theatrical developments, \"Daddy\" Rice, the Virginia Minstrels) and Section Three covers various other influences (Native American, German and Shaker).
