520 $a Social dancing was one of the most popular pastimes in the United States during the early decades of the twentieth century, representing distinct changes in social behaviors and attitudes about dance. This work documents the social dance scene in Chicago from 1910 to 1925 and examines the relationship between dance and social change, focusing specifically on shifting sexual and gender norms.
520 $a This work is divided into two major parts. Part I documents the development of dance institutions that flourished in early twentieth century Chicago. Chapter 1 discusses the growing popularity of dancing, the development of the public dance hall, and Progressive era regulatory efforts. Chapter 2 explores the shift from disreputable dance halls to elegantly-appointed ballrooms. Through the appropriation of the term <italic>ballroom</italic>, construction of elaborate facilities, and cooperation with the Progressive reformers, Chicago ballrooms shaped a new and respectable image and attracted huge audiences. Chapter 3 discusses the development of the cabaret in 1910s and 1920s Chicago. Important cabaret centers developed early on Chicago's near west side and in the Loop. Racially integrated cabarets known as “black and tans” arose on Chicago's south side, providing white audiences with relatively easy access to black musical and dance styles. Sexualized dance performances and more rhythmic styles of music were common, and black and tans were popular sites for whites looking to challenge traditional notions, seek greater personal fulfillment, and act out their modernity.
520 $a Part II discusses the dances themselves, focusing on the contrasting pair of the fox trot and shimmy, two dances that have previously received little scholarly attention. Chapter 4 discusses the development and dominance of the fox trot as the most popular dance of the era. Chapter 5 documents the development and dissemination of the shimmy, a shoulder- and hip-shaking dance. These dances reflected the multiple and contradictory practices regarding sexuality and gender, simultaneously expressing and structuring both conservative and modern ideals. While the provocative movements of the shimmy embodied the growing importance of sexual expression, the formation of distinct and separate responsibilities for the sexes in dances like the fox trot simultaneously reinscribed asymmetrical gender relations.
