Cover imageGlamour addiction: inside the American ballroom dance industry.

Author: McMains, Juliet

Published: 2006

The first detailed look at the international phenomenon of DanceSport - a creative art, rigorous sport, popular entertainment, and commercial business. Juliet McMains explores 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 foster inequality, and issues of identity, including gender, race, class, and sexuality.
