Dancing Cheek to Cheek: An Intimate History of Dance

Revolution on the Dance Floor (1x2)

Data de estreia: Nov 24, 2014

The industrial revolution changed the way ordinary people danced and at Queen Street Mill in Burnley, Len uncovers the fascinating story of how factory workers developed clog dancing to imitate the sounds and rhythms of the machinery they used. Lucy discovers how upper-class dancing tastes were transformed by the introduction of the waltz at the beginning of the 19th century, which allowed couples to dance scandalously close.
