By the 1920s, much of the world was ‘dance mad,’ as dancers from Buenos Aires to Tokyo, from Manchester to Johannesburg and from Chelyabinsk to Auckland, engaged in the Charleston, the foxtrot and a whole host of other fashionable dances. Worlds of social dancing examines how these dance cultures spread around the globe at this time and how they were altered to suit local tastes. As it looks at dance as a ‘social world’, the book explores the social and personal relationships established in encounters on dance floors on all continents. It also acknowledges the impact of radio and (sound) film as well as the contribution of dance teachers, musicians and other entertainment professionals to the making of the new dance culture.

Download Salsa Dancing into the Social Sciences Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
“You might think that dancing doesn’t have a lot to do with social research, and doing social research is probably why you picked this book up in the first place. But trust me. Salsa dancing is a practice as well as a metaphor for a kind of research that will make your life easier and better.” Savvy, witty, and sensible, this unique book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science. In this volume, Kristin Luker guides novice researchers in: knowing the difference between an area of interest and a research topic; defining the relevant parts of a potentially infinite research literature; mastering sampling, operationalization, and generalization; understanding which research methods best answer your questions; beating writer’s block. Most important, she shows how friendships, non-academic interests, and even salsa dancing can make for a better researcher. “You know about setting the kitchen timer and writing for only an hour, or only 15 minutes if you are feeling particularly anxious. I wrote a fairly large part of this book feeling exactly like that. If I can write an entire book 15 minutes at a time, so can you.”

In the final installment of his Word Dances series, Joseph Sepesy concludes his narration about social ballroom dancing, a fun activity that can be mastered and enjoyed by anyone. Through new anecdotes, verse, and references, Sepesy reflects on the genres of dance; the seductive music that beckons dancers to the floor; the learning process of dance; the romance and humor that accompanies social ballroom dancing; and the challenges he continues to face as he deals with advancing nerve damage and PTSD. With the intent of invoking smiles, he also offers epigraphs, commentary, and quotations to help dancers of all levels realize the relevancy of their own ballroom adventures. Included is a list of over four hundred songs that seduce and demand that dancers take to the floor as well as several short stories that utilize memorable characters to bring social ballroom dancing to life. Word Dances V shares short tales, thoughts, and verse that guide social ballroom dancers to revisit the memories and emotions surrounding their experiences on the dance floor.
