{"product_id":"9781772123340","title":"The Evolving Feminine Ballet Body","description":"With the popularity of such reality TV shows as \u003ci\u003eSo You Think You Can Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, dance has become increasingly visible within contemporary culture. This shift brings the ballet body into renewed focus. Historically both celebrated and critiqued for its thin, flexible, and highly feminized aesthetic, the ballet body now takes on new and complex meanings at the intersections of performance art, popular culture, and even fitness. \u003ci\u003eThe Evolving Feminine Ballet Body\u003c\/i\u003e provides a local perspective to enrich the broader cultural narratives of ballet through historical, socio-cultural, political, and artistic lenses, redefining what many considered to be \"high art.\" Scholars in gender studies, folklore, popular culture, and cultural studies will be interested in this collection, as well as those involved in the dance world.","brand":"University of Alberta Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057735483632,"sku":"9781772123340","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781772123340_p0.jpg?v=1763708363","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781772123340","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
