About this product
Product Information
This dynamic collection documents the rich and varied history of social dance and the multiple styles it has generated, while drawing on some of the most current forms of critical and theoretical inquiry. The essays cover different historical periods and styles; encompass regional influences from North and South America, Britain, Europe, and Africa; and emphasize a variety of methodological approaches, including ethnography, anthropology, gender studies, and critical race theory. While social dance is defined primarily as dance performed by the public in ballrooms, clubs, dance halls, and other meeting spots, contributors also examine social dance's symbiotic relationship with popular, theatrical stage dance forms. Contributors are Elizabeth Aldrich, Barbara Cohen-Stratyner, Yvonne Daniel, Sherril Dodds, Lisa Doolittle, David F. García, Nadine George-Graves, Jurretta Jordan Heckscher, Constance Valis Hill, Karen W. Hubbard, Tim Lawrence, Julie Malnig, Carol Martin, Juliet McMains, Terry Monaghan, Halifu Osumare, Sally R. Sommer, May Gwin Waggoner, Tim Wall, and Christina Zanfagna.

I received the book I ordered pretty quickly, and it was as described, in good condition. I'm picky, though, about yellowed pages, so I'm returning it. The seller responded quickly and professionally to my returns questions and is covering return shipping costs. A great experience overall.

AMAZING!!! I am so happy with these books! I am very grateful to have found them in such great condition! They arrived exactly as described and were carefully wrapped and protected. It was a cherry on top to receive them so quickly too! I have already started reading them like crazy. They have added so much detailed information to my studying of the Bible and I feel so blessed to have them. I will take care of them just as they were taken care of before me. THANK YOU, SELLER Irenefrancis1950!!!
