Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of square dancing in America, tracing its origins back to the arrival of English settlers and the publication of the first English dance book in 1651. The author explores how these folk dances, initially popular in rural communities, evolved…and spread into urban areas over time. The narrative challenges common misconceptions about the Puritans' stance on dancing, highlighting their embrace of it as a means of fostering social interaction and instilling manners. It further examines how square dancing served as a reflection of the changing times, adapting to social and political shifts, such as the American and French revolutions. The book details the impact of these revolutions on dance styles, fashion, and the overall perception of square dancing within American society. Through meticulous research, the author sheds light on the contributions of influential figures like John Griffith, a prominent dancing master, and explores the emergence of calling as a uniquely American innovation. The book delves into the dynamic interplay between European influences and American adaptations, showcasing the evolution of square dancing from its English roots to its distinctly American character. By offering a comprehensive and engaging exploration of square dancing's rich history, this book provides valuable insights into the cultural significance and enduring legacy of this American tradition.
