Title Stepping on Toes The Political Statements of 17th & 18th-Century Dance
Issue Volume 01, Number 03 (T&T, Summer 2016)
Description The political statements of 17th and 18th century dance were aligned with government policies (e.g. Cromwell's prohibition of "sinful" activities) and reflected the social interaction among American colonists and British rulers. Stallings, a consultant and participant in the AMC drama "Turn" which was filmed in Williamsburg, employing several CWF ancers as well as members of the Richmond Ballet, ensured that the film's ballroom sequences were historically authentic.
