Abstract

This pictorial history of African American dance traces its roots back to a time of slavery and lists the characteristics that now dominate American dance. The photographs offer compelling glimpses into the world of slavery, the minstrel show, the honky-tonk and jook, the vaudeville stage, dance halls, nightclubs, movies, and much more. Most of these images are culled from hundreds of rare items in the author's collection of black dance memorabilia.
