Rather, it is a continually evolving and increasingly global social and cultural arena: of fashion, performance, art, sport, gender and more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBallroom \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the intersection of dance cultures, dress and the body. Presenting the author's experiences at an international range of dance events in Europe, the US and UK, as well as featuring the views of individual dancers, the book shows how dancing influences mind and body alike.
