Everybody's Doin' It: Sex, Music, and Dance in New York, 1840-1917 by Dale CockrellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was well researched, the problem that I had was it was hard for me to visualize the description of the dances, I think probably because I know nothing about dancing. You can tell that Mr. Cockrell is highly intelligent by reading his text, and sometimes that flowery vocabulary doesn't fit in with the vulgar talk of prostitution and dancing.
I do feel like I learned a little bit about the history of the dance and glad I read this one.
