Synopsis

Banned Dances explores the historical suppression of dance, revealing the motivations behind censoring artistic expression across different cultures and eras. It examines how dance, a potent form of nonverbal communication, has been perceived as a threat to social order and political power. The book argues that anxieties surrounding morality, female sexuality, and cultural boundaries often fuel dance censorship. One intriguing example explored is the initial condemnation of the Waltz in the 19th century due to its close embrace being viewed as scandalous. 

 
The book progresses by identifying recurring themes in the history of dance censorship. Drawing upon primary sources like newspaper accounts and artistic manifestos, Banned Dances analyzes the debates surrounding controversial dances, revealing the prejudices of the time. The study also considers how dancers and choreographers have creatively subverted restrictions. It offers a fresh perspective by connecting dance censorship to broader issues of freedom of expression, cultural identity, and social justice, making it valuable for those interested in history, performing arts, and cultural studies.

    The Franco-Prussian War, also known as the Franco-German War or, in France, the War of 1870, was a pivotal conflict between the Second French Empire and the North German Confederation, which was led by the Kingdom of Prussia. This war lasted from 19 July 1870 to 28 January 1871, and its consequences would shape European geopolitics for decades. The primary cause of the war stemmed from France's desire to reaffirm its dominance in continental Europe, which had been seriously challenged after Prussia's decisive victory over Austria in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. This defeat shifted the balance of power in Europe, making France anxious about its standing. 
    Historians have debated the exact motivations behind the war, particularly regarding the role of Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian chancellor. Some argue that Bismarck intentionally provoked France into declaring war to unite the southern German states—Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria, and Hesse-Darmstadt—under the North German Confederation. Other historians maintain that Bismarck exploited the situation as it developed, recognizing the potential for new alliances but not necessarily seeking war. Regardless of the intent, Bismarck saw the war as an opportunity to strengthen German unity. 
    The war officially began when France mobilized its army on 15 July 1870, prompting the North German Confederation to follow suit with its own mobilization the same day. On 16 July, the French parliament declared war on Prussia, and by 2 August, France had invaded German territory. The German coalition responded swiftly and efficiently, invading northeastern France on 4 August. The Germans had several advantages: superior numbers, better training, more effective leadership, and access to advanced military technology, especially in railways and artillery.
