Brought to life with stunning clarity and depth, this is social and cultural history at its most immersive, vital and shocking.____'Excellent' The Sunday Times'Reminds us why the dance floor matters . . . fascinating' TelegraphLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 346mmItem Length: 204mmItem Width: 44mmItem Weight: 692gAuthor: Ed GillettGenre: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
