(Spoilers Extended) For Fire and Blood, is it possible to simply skip to the start of the Dance? Best chapter to do that?

(Please refrain from suggesting I should read the whole book
Why do you ask questions which you don't want to hear the answers to?
The answer is, indeed, read the whole book, whether you like it or not.

There's no way some of these chapters have anything to do with the Dance. I know the whole book isn't about that.

I was going to write something more snooty but couldn’t be arsed.
Read “The Princess and the Queen” which details the origins of the Black and Greens and then pick f&b and read the chapters that follow on. You could’ve easily found this out yourself with a bit of initiative.

Both 'The Rogue Prince' and 'The Princess and the Queen' are already included in Fire and Blood, just under different titles and with additional info

I thought I’d treat myself and be a bit indulgent. Don’t take it to heart, it’s just a bit of lighthearted ribbing. I hope you enjoy (half of) the book :)

Read from A Question of Succession to The Hour of the Wolf

Don't bother. Just watch the History and Lore video on the Dance. It's somewhat abridged, without some of the additional depth found in Fire & Blood, but it would save you having to read anything since that's apparently not your jam.
Which is a shame, because Fire & Blood is excellent.

The chapter "Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession" is a pretty clear place to start if you're only interested in the Dance. That being said, some of the best stuff in the book is in the Jaehaerys chapters that precede it.
