| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. African-American cultural dance has developed within African American communities in everyday spaces, rather than in studios, schools or companies. These dances are usually centered on folk and social dance practice, though performance dance often supply complementary aspects to this. Placing great value on improvisation, these dances are characterized by ongoing change and development. This book studies the African-American dance genres including hustle, popping, robot, jerkin', and Chicago stepping.
