At the turn of the 20th century, Western culture was throwing off its Victorian shackles and emerging with a bolder identity. Social rules were transforming, allowing for greater freedom of expression. Organized dancing reflected this ease of structure. Dancetime! 500 Years of Social Dance, Volume II: The 20th Century gives an exhaustive history of this phenomenon. Choreographer Carol Teten carefully reconstructs over 38 actual dances with the help of the Dance Through Time troupe, beginning with the Animal dances of the 1910s and progressing through to the hip-hop of the '90s. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi
