Abstract

This paper explores the field of choreographic transfers between Europe and America at the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on the tremendous dynamism of social dance practice in Interwar France (1919–1939), it examines the context of this new type of migration, from North and South America to Europe. It also studies how the assimilation of social dances from the “New World” in the French dancing repertoire profoundly transformed body practices of the French society.
