A fun, fact-filled, and thoroughly researched journey of country
and western dancing from the roots of Western Swing to Hank
Williams, the Urban Cowboy two-step of John Travolta, and the
nationwide sensation of country line dancing. Country & Western
Dance turns the spotlight on a uniquely American form of dance, one
that has been scuffing the floorboards for nearly a century but is
often overlooked. Fun, lively, and thoroughly researched, this
revealing volume tells the full story of country and western dance
music from the days of Bob Wills and Tulsa to Oklahoma's Cain's
Ballroom to John Travolta and Gilley's of Houston, Texas. Each
chapter provides information on the historical roots of the most
popular country and western dances as well as the pioneers of the
music of a particular era, all in the context of changing cultural,
social, political, and economic forces in America. The book also
examines the seminal impact of radio, television, and the movies in
helping spread the music, the moves, and the good times on the
country dance floor.
