Glamour Addiction

"In this first in-depth study of the sport of ballroom dance, dancer and dance historian Juliet McMains explains the "Glamour Machine" that drives the thriving industry, delving into both the pleasures and perils of its seductions. She further explores the broader social issues invoked by American DanceSport: representation of Latinness, economics that often foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality."--Jacket.
