It describes the rise of modern ballroom dancing as Britain's predominant popular style, as well as the opening of hundreds of affordable dancing schools and purpose-built dance halls. It focuses in particular on the relationship between the dance profession and dance hall industry and the consumers who formed the dancing public. Together these groups negotiated the creation of a 'national' dancing style, which constructed, circulated, and commodified ideas about national identity. At the same time, the book emphasizes the global, exploring the impact of international cultural products on national identity construction, the complexities of Americanisation, and Britain's place in a transnational system of production and consumption that forged the dances of the Jazz Age. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Dance|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85035659 |zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Dance.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/887402 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Richards, Jeffrey.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n83062695 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAbra, Allison.|tDancing in the English style.
