Abstract	"Modern Moves examines the movement of social dances between "black" and "white" cultural groups and immigrant and migrant communities during the early twentieth century. It focuses on Manhattan, a Black Atlantic capital into which diverse people and dances flowed and intermingled, and out of which new dances were marketed globally"-- Provided by publisher.
