Summary of J Ellen Gainor A World without Collisions Ballroom Dance
The critical essay “A World without collisions”: Ballroom Dance by J. Ellen Gainor, published by Rutgers University Press in 1995 discusses how ballroom dancing demonstrates the differences between race, class and gender. Ballroom dancing “transcends language and cultural barriers” (page127), it is able to take “40 foreign frontiers” (page127) and allow them to be seen at the same level as everyone else.
