Joan was a long-standing member of the Advisory Board of Dance Research, a pioneering ethnomusicologist and dance historian, and a valued contributor and advisor to the journal in its early and middle periods. Penny Vera- Sanso writes, A report on the National Early Music Association s 1991 international conference, entitled The Marriage of Music and Dance, provides a clear demonstration of Joan s erudition, energy, enjoyment of life and her capacity to carry people with her: Joan Rimmer s paper on the estampie, the early French dance, swept her audience along in a joyous succession of foot-tapping rhythms, drawing on the rhythmic metre of a number of 12 th to 14 th century poems and songs, which suggest that estampies must have been exhilarating dances to perform. This... should lay to rest for ever those tedious inventions so beloved of many exponents of early dance. A pathfinder and a convention breaker.
