Dancing in the English style explores the development, experience,
and cultural representation of popular dance in Britain from the
end of the First World War to the early 1950s. It describes the
rise of modern ballroom dancing as Britain's predominant popular
style, as well as the opening of hundreds of affordable dancing
schools and purpose-built dance halls. It focuses in particular on
the relationship between the dance profession and dance hall
industry and the consumers who formed the dancing public. Together
these groups negotiated the creation of a 'national' dancing style,
which constructed, circulated, and commodified ideas about national
identity. At the same time, the book emphasizes the global,
exploring the impact of international cultural products on national
identity construction, the complexities of Americanisation, and
Britain's place in a transnational system of production and
consumption that forged the dances of the Jazz Age. -- .
