Juan Ignacio de Iztueta: euskal dantzen erreforma ilustratua

Abstract

The author proposes a new interpretation about Juan Ignacio de Iztueta, based on the historical context of his work. In his opinion, this work is not a compilation of traditions made in Basque apologistic terms, as Iztueta said, but a true reform made by some enlightened people. This reform, not only a esthetic, but social and political too, consisted essentially of a mixture between that time's Basque traditional and the European erudite one.
