Synopsis

Latin Dance Boom explores the fascinating journey of Latin dance styles, like salsa and tango, from their cultural origins to global phenomena. The book highlights how these dances transformed from local traditions into worldwide sensations, driven by migration, media influence, and their adoption as powerful expressions of identity. For instance, the significant diasporas of Latin American communities to cities such as New York and Miami played a crucial role in disseminating these dance forms.

 
The book examines the historical evolution, socio-cultural factors, and commercialization of Latin dance, providing a comprehensive analysis of its globalization. It progresses by first introducing key dance styles and their origins, then detailing their spread through migration and media. Examining the roles of dance studios, competitions, and social media, Latin Dance Boom then assesses the current state of Latin dance, addressing issues of authenticity and commercialization. This approach offers readers a nuanced understanding of how historical forces, cultural exchanges, and commercial interests have shaped the global popularity of Latin dance.

Jean-Antoine Watteau

Youri Zolotov

Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) epitomises the grace, intelligence, and poetry of the eighteenth century, a period when French tastes reigned supreme throughout Europe. He is renowned as a pivotal figure in Rococo art. Watteau excels in depicting scenes of daily life and theatrical costumes. His work, while highly stylised, reveals an undercurrent of melancholy beneath its apparent frivolity. It captures profound emotions, hinting at love that transcends mere physical attraction and showcasing the enigmatic ambience present in his landscapes and the wistful gaze in lovers’ eyes. Watteau’s exceptional sense of colour imparts feelings of softness and mystery, akin to a pervasive musical undertone. His robust draughtsmanship places him among the greatest artists, and his inherent poetic essence evokes dreamlike visions.
