Ballroom : Culture and Costume in Competitive Dance Hardback
by Jonathan S. Marion
Part of the Dress, Body, Culture series
Hardback
Description
Competitive ballroom is much more than a style of dance.
Rather, it is a continually evolving and increasingly global social and cultural arena: of fashion, performance, art, sport, gender, and more.
Ballroom explores the intersection of dance cultures, dress, and the body.
Presenting the author's experiences at an international range of dance events from Europe, the US and UK, as well as featuring the views of individual dancers, the book shows how dancing influences mind and body alike.
For students of anthropology, dance, cultural, and performance studies, Ballroom provides an ethnographic picture of how dancers and others live their lives both on and off the dance floor.
