Produktbeschreibung

This look at Progressive-era women and innovative cultural practices "blazes a new trail in dance scholarship" (Choice, Outstanding Academic Book of the Year). From salons to dance halls to settlement houses, new dance practices at the turn of the twentieth century became a vehicle for expressing cultural issues and negotiating matters of gender. By examining master narratives of modern dance history, this provocative and insightful book demonstrates the cultural agency of Progressive-era dance practices. "Tomko blazes a new trail in dance scholarship by interconnecting U.S. History and dance studies... the first to argue successfully that middle-class U.S. women promoted a new dance practice to manage industrial changes, crowded urban living, massive immigration, and interchange and repositioning among different classes." -Choice
