By the 1920s, much of the world was 'dance mad,' as dancers from
Buenos Aires to Tokyo, from Manchester to Johannesburg and from
Chelyabinsk to Auckland, engaged in the Charleston, the foxtrot and
a whole host of other fashionable dances. Worlds of social dancing
examines how these dance cultures spread around the globe at this
time and how they were altered to suit local tastes. As it looks at
dance as a 'social world', the book explores the social and
personal relationships established in encounters on dance floors on
all continents. It also acknowledges the impact of radio and
(sound) film as well as the contribution of dance teachers,
musicians and other entertainment professionals to the making of
the new dance culture. -- .
