Book Description
From the ragtime one-step of the early twentieth century to the contemporary practices of youth club cultures, popular dance and music are inextricably linked. This collection reveals the intimate connections between the corporeal and the sonic in the creation, transmission and reception of popular dance and music, which is imagined here as ’bodies of sound’. The volume provokes a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary conversation that includes scholarship from Asia, Europe and the United States, which explores topics from the nineteenth century through to the present day and engages with practices at local, national and transnational levels. In Part I: Constructing the Popular, the authors explore how categories of popular music and dance are constructed and de-stabilized, and their proclivity to appropriate and re-imagine cultural forms and meanings. In Part II: Authenticity, Revival and Reinvention, the authors examine how popular forms produce and manipulate identities and meanings through their attraction to and departure from cultural traditions. In Part III: (Re)Framing Value, the authors interrogate how values are inscribed, silenced, rearticulated and capitalized through popular music and dance. And in Part IV: Politics of the Popular, the authors read the popular as a site of political negotiation and transformation.

Book Description
Charles d'Albert's Dancing, published in 1913, was the first detailed technical dance dictionary to be published in the twentieth century. D'Albert casts his net wide, with entries ranging from the technical terms of classical ballet through ballroom dance to such rarified items as the ancient Greek war dance the Chironomie. In his introduction the author writes "No work in the English language has yet been given to the Teacher of Dancing, which would serve as a serious basis for the Study of the Art he professes to teach. This book is launched in the confident hope that it will act as Mentor, Guide and Instructor to my many Professional sisters and brethren. Should it be the means of elevating our Art, its object will have been attained. In any case the reader cannot fail to find much useful information and valuable instructions in the perusal of its pages.
