<br/><br/> "Dancing Communities examines amateur and professional dance in Los Angeles, and argues that concert and amateur dance practices are laboratories for re-fashioning myriad complex intersections of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity and culture. Here, dance offers solidarity, and communal and cultural continuity. Using the 'global' city of Los Angeles, Hamera offers new possibilities for transforming intimacy in/and urban life and for wider discussions of the social and aesthetic force of performance as an urban political infrastructure."--BOOK JACKET.
