The Sexual Politics of Ballroom Dancing
Author: Vicki Harman
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137029390
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This book presents an engaging sociological investigation into how gender is negotiated and performed in ballroom and Latin dancing that draws on extensive ethnographic research, as well as the author’s own experience as a dancer. It explores the key factors underpinning the popularity of this leisure activity and highlights what this reveals more broadly about the nature of gender roles at the current time. The author begins with an overview of its rich social history and shifting class status, establishing the context within which contemporary masculinities and femininities in this community are explored. Real and imagined gendered traditions are examined across a range of dancer experiences that follows the trajectory of a typical learner: from finding a partner, attending lessons and forming networks, through to taking part in competitions. The analysis of these narratives creates a nuanced picture of a dance culture that is empowering, yet also highly consumerist and image-conscious; a highly ritualised set of practices that both reinstate and transgress gender roles. This innovative contribution to the feminist leisure literature will appeal to students and scholars of anthropology, dance, sport, gender, cultural and media studies.

Family Secrets 3 - Prophetic Destinies
Author: Nancy Petrey
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631998463
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
What God begins with your story, God will continue to completion. In this final book of her Family Secrets trilogy, Nancy Petrey ties together the threads of providence as the characters deal with mystery, danger, and a variety of obstacles to fulfilling their destinies. This book again combines fast action, romance, theology, and divine providence in a unique way. You will be learning a variety of things about scripture, history, prophecy and world politics as you enjoy the lively antics (and thoughtful plans) of the characters you have come to know from the first two volumes of this series. Again, history and geography are seriously researched. You’ll find yourself learning a little bit of Hebrew along with the characters. Author and publisher pray that you will hear the call to follow God’s leading and to depend on God’s providence. The people and events are fictional, but the God presented in this story is real. This may be the most entertaining course in theology you could possibly take.

What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell You
Author: Jean Reynolds, Ph.d.
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781482796971
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
I'm a longtime English teacher, consultant, editor, and professional writer. Over the years many people told me about their secret desire to write for publication. They have an abundant storehouse of ideas and experiences to write about. What holds them back is finding time for an intensive review of English grammar. They're always astonished when I tell them that there's an easier pathway to writing-one that doesn't involve complex grammar theory, workbook exercises, and grammar tests. Here's what your English teacher may not have told you: You've been using language expertly all your life, and you can easily build on that foundation to learn the sentence patterns and writing strategies used by professional writers. The traditional curriculums and teaching materials used in many schools don't always cover the skills needed for 21st-century writing. But you'll find them in my book. "What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell You" offers you a thorough review of punctuation, sentence structure, and usage. Practice Activities and a Pretest allow you to assess what you're learning. A complete Answer Key is included. Everything is presented in plain, everyday language. More important, you'll learn how to use writing to showcase yourself, your knowledge, and your ideas. You can use your new skills in writing classes, workplace tasks, and creative writing-short stories, a novel, a nonfiction book, a memoir. This book was written with YOU in mind. My teaching techniques have helped countless students take their writing skills to exciting new levels. I'm eager to share them with you. Let's get started! Praise for "What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell You": "Practical and accessible" - Marcella Cooper, Temple University, Osaka, Japan "Personable and readable...Jean knows her subject forwards and backwards." - Adair Lara, author of "Hold Me Close, Let Me Go"

Becoming Beautiful
Author: Joanna Bosse
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252096983
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
In Becoming Beautiful, Joanna Bosse explores the transformations undergone by the residents of a Midwestern town when they step out on the dance floor for the very first time. Bosse uses sensitive fieldwork as well as her own immersion in ballroom culture to lead readers into a community that springs up around ballroom dance. The result is a portrait of the real people who connect with others, change themselves, and join a world that foxtrots to its own rules, conventions, and rewards. Bosse's eye for revealing, humorous detail adds warmth and depth to discussions around critical perspectives on the experiences the dance hall provides, the nature of partnership and connection, and the notion of how dancing allows anyone to become beautiful.

My Omaha Obsession
Author: Miss Cassette
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 149622471X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
My Omaha Obsession takes the reader on an idiosyncratic tour through some of Omaha’s neighborhoods, buildings, architecture, and people, celebrating the city’s unusual history. Rather than covering the city’s best-known sites, Miss Cassette is irresistibly drawn to strange little buildings and glorious large homes that don’t exist anymore as well as to stories of Harkert’s Holsum Hamburgers and the Twenties Club. Piecing together the records of buildings and homes and everything interesting that came after, Miss Cassette shares her observations of the property and its significance to Omaha. She scrutinizes land deeds, insurance maps, tax records, and old newspaper articles to uncover a property’s singular story. Through conversations with fellow detectives and history enthusiasts, she guides readers along her path of hunches, personal interests, mishaps, and more. As a longtime resident of Omaha, Miss Cassette is informed by memories of her youth combined with an enduring curiosity about the city’s offbeat relics and remains. Part memoir and part research guide with a healthy dose of colorful wandering, My Omaha Obsession celebrates the historic built environment and searches for the people who shaped early Omaha.
