This book explores dancing from the 1960s to the 1980s; though this period covers only twenty years, the changes during it were seismic. Nevertheless continuities can be found, and those are what this book examines. In dancing, it answers how we moved from the self-control that formed the basis for ballroom dancing, to ecstatic rave dancing. In terms of music, it answers how we moved from the beat groups to electronic dance music. In terms of youth, it answers how we moved from youth culture to club culture.
“Reading Stratton’s succinct account still comes across as curiously pleasing read. … Stratton delivers a good overview of the main movements in 30 years of dance history which have left its mark on humanity.” (Tara Hill, Dancecult, Vol. 15 (1), 2023)
