PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Hilary French is Professor of Design Studies at Bath Spa University. She is also a ballroom dancer and occasional competitor. She lives in London.
"""French's fascinating people's history of dancing is also a cultural history of social space: those cathedral-sized palaces created to meet the enormous demand for dancing at the turn of the twentieth century.""-- ""Morning Star"" ""Have you ever watched Strictly Come Dancing and wondered about the history of ballroom and Latin dancing? If so, French has provided an authoritative and accessible introduction. . . . French's richly detailed book is thoroughly recommended for anyone intrigued by the social history of dancing.""-- ""BBC History"" ""Strictly fans will love Hilary French's Ballroom, a 'people's history' of dancing that tells how American ragtime and Parisian tango fuelled a dancing craze in Britain in the early part of the last century. The book also charts the emergence of Latin dance, and the rise, fall and rise again of ballroom dancing.""-- ""Choice"""
