Book on the Dance Floor by Brice Najar Pdf

In the Spring of 1997, the promotion of the HIStory album seemed as if it would continue for quite a while, especially since Michael Jackson's eponymous European tour was imminent. And yet, contrary to fans' expectations, a new album entitled Blood On The Dance Floor was announced. More than two decades later, Brice Najar decided to explore the history of this unusual and very special collection of music in the King of Pop's discography. As in Najar's previous book, Let's Make HIStory, he reached out to Michael Jackson's collaborative partners. Through their stories, he was able to fully examine this era, and to understand the context of Jackson's creative process during this time. Ultimately, Book On The Dance Floor serves as a complement to Najar's previous work, and adds to fans' insights into Jackson's life and legacy.

Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980–1983 by Tim Lawrence Pdf

As the 1970s gave way to the 80s, New York's party scene entered a ferociously inventive period characterized by its creativity, intensity, and hybridity. Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor chronicles this tumultuous time, charting the sonic and social eruptions that took place in the city’s subterranean party venues as well as the way they cultivated breakthrough movements in art, performance, video, and film. Interviewing DJs, party hosts, producers, musicians, artists, and dancers, Tim Lawrence illustrates how the relatively discrete post-disco, post-punk, and hip hop scenes became marked by their level of plurality, interaction, and convergence. He also explains how the shifting urban landscape of New York supported the cultural renaissance before gentrification, Reaganomics, corporate intrusion, and the spread of AIDS brought this gritty and protean time and place in American culture to a troubled denouement.

Trouble on the Dance Floor by Joey London Pdf

I am a 50 year old straight guy that that dances nearly nude in a really hot gay club with people half my age. I have been a nightclub dancer for over 25 years and have developed a style called Emergent Dance.Being 50, I'm always telling myself that I have to quit clubbing. However, I made a deal with myself that I could continue my club dancing for one more year if I wrote a book that tells what I've learned over the past quarter century.This book reads like Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values. It is a memoir of spending the 50th year of my life on the nightclub dance floor, intermixed with the findings of my quixotic quest to discover why we must dance.As the memoir picks up with my 50th birthday, I begin detailing what emergent nightclub dancing is and how the experience can be conjured. I continue with all sorts of practical tips that will help you unleash the hidden primal dancer within you.Much like Pirsig, I become maniacally possessed with my quest to find the essential reason for dancing. This quest lead me to many astounding discoveries. The book ventures into the world of archetypes, evolutionary biology, theory of mind, psychopharmacology, and many other interesting topics.The bottom line is that there is an amazing dancer locked within you. You need only to unleash it. This book can help.If nothing else, you should get a kick out of reading my hilarious, salacious, and often heart rending tales as the last baby-boomer left standing on the dance floor.Trouble on the Dance Floor is an unusual literary work. It combines raucous tales from the nightclub with hard science and deep philosophy. It is fun and intellectual. You won't regret reading it.

Light Fantastic by Georgina White Pdf

Light fantastic: dance floor courtship in New Zealand is a beautiful and evocative social history of public dance. From the first settlers' socials and Governor's balls to the formality of debutantes and the ritual of 'coming out', through sock hops and disco to dance raves, the story of public dances is arranged thematically and chronologically, the culmination of two years' research. Highly visual, with photos and printed ephemera running throughout, it is based on the successful 2005 First Dance exhibition held at the National Library Gallery in Wellington, curated by the author. Like Thrift to Fantasy, text is organised into themes including invitations, preparation and dance lessons, dancehalls and decorations, codes of conduct (debutantes, proximity), wallflowers and belles of the ball, dance styles, mishaps and broken hearts. Each section will include true life dancehall anecdotes and stories, with extracts from letters, diaries and first person accounts, all lavishly illustrated with period photographs, exquisite dance cards, dance notices and advertisements.The dance cabarets of the 20s and 30s, tea dances for troops during the wars and the role of the public hall dances in rural society will all be covered in a wide-ranging and informative review of an enduring social tradition.
