This fascinating book explores the rich history of exhibition
ballroom dancing from its heyday in the 1910s to the present. Julie
Malnig's record of this intimate, theatrical genre of dance
features male-female teams--idolized as theatre personalities in
cabaret, vaudeville, musicals, and, later, as stars of film and
television. Both role models and teachers, exhibition ballroom
teams showed the public exciting new forms and styles. Exhibition
ballroom dancing is examined as a cultural and social phenomenon
promoting new cultural standards, including the emancipation of
women and a casualness and spontaneity between the sexes. A
comprehensive study of this dance genre and entertainment form,
this volume utilizes unexplored primary sources and is illustrated
with original photographs. This book can be used by students,
researchers, and anyone interested in the history of dance,
theatre, and all forms of popular entertainment.
