Abstract
This article presents the edition and historical context of an unpublished manuscript from 1800, belonging to the Real Seminario de Nobles de Madrid, which establishes the principles that had to be observed by the dancing masters of this institution. The instructions contained in the document show the adoption of the French dancing style introduced in Spain with the arrival of Philip V. The dancing masters had to teach the principles of this art in the wider context of the education of manners to those who had to distinguish themselves because of their noble origin and who were destined to occupy the higher political offices in the monarchy.
