Opis

Whether in the private parlor, public hall, commercial 'dance palace' or sleazy dive, dance has long been opposed by those who viewed it as immoral--more preciously as being a danger to the purity of those who practiced it, particularly women. In Adversaries of Dance, Ann Wagner presents a major study of opposition to dance over a period of four centuries in what is now the United States.
