"Ghosting the Machine: The Sounds of Tap and the Sounds of Film." Screen, vol. 44, no. 4, pp. 355-78, Winter 2003.

"A discussion of the significance of films in which tap dancing and typing have been brought together in the same frame. This significance arises from the fact that tap dancing and typing have a number of features in common, both in their respective histories and in their function as aural signifiers of 20th-century modernity. Each was developed in the 19th century during a period in which communication technologies were experiencing swift change, and each went on to take center stage in the early decades of the 20th century, revolutionizing office work and writing on the one hand and vernacular dance on the other." [Art Index]

Brooks, Virginia.

"A Timeline of Dance and Media." Dance on Camera Journal, 2008 Annual Review, p71-74, 4p

A chronology of events relating to the evolution of dance films or dance on camera works is presented. Dance on film began in 1894 when Thomas A. Edison filmed Ruth Saint Denis doing a skirt dance outdoors. In 1902, Peter Elfeldt recorded a performance of the Royal Danish Ballet. In 1934, "The Merry Widow," was directed by Ernst Lubitsch using a mobile camera floating above waltzing dancers.

Carroll, Noel.

"Toward a definition of moving-picture dance." Dance Research Journal 33.1 (Summer 2001): 46-61.

An attempt is made to explain moving-picture dance by offering a philosophical characterization of this field of activity. The moving-picture makers have devoted admirable amounts of effort and imagination to portraying dance in or through media as diverse as film, video, and computer animation.

""Out-Salomeing Salome": dance, the New Woman, and fan magazine Orientalism.(The Movies: A Centennial Issue)." Michigan Quarterly Review 34.n4 (Fall 1995): 486(25).

The depiction of Oriental women in motion pictures has been a source of study for film critics and historians. Twentieth century film makers focused on the socio-cultural relevance of sexual affairs between men and women from the East and West. Early movies, of 1916 to 1926, convey the change in attitudes of New Women shaped by the rise of consumerism. Oriental women dancers were considered liberal women and the fan magazines of the West began to appreciate the dancers as emblems of female sexuality.

Telotte, J.P.

"A Sober Celebration: Song And Dance In The "New" Musical." Journal of Popular Film and Television 8(1), 1980, 2-14.

A new form of musical film, which revitalized the genre during the late 1970s, reflects cultural changes by incorporating song and dance into more restricted physical and narrative limitations than traditional musicals. The "new" musical, such as Saturday Night Fever and The Last Waltz, emphasizes the tension between the expressive--song and dance--and the narrative--everyday life.

Unger, Arthur.

"Dance on television: as seen by dancers." Television Quarterly 28.n1 (Wntr 1996): 68(2).

Three famous dancers expressed their attitudes towards television coverage of dancing. Mikhail Baryshnikov did not approve, finding the lack of an audience stultifying, although a recorded live performance could be valuable. Martha Graham enjoyed it, transposing her material instead of choreographing specifically for the medium. Dame Margot Fonteyn noted the expanded audience for dance due to TV, 'The Red Shoes' movie and Anna Pavlova's career.

The Astaire siblings began performing at ages 6 and 8 and were known to incorporate a wide variety of dance styles, including jazz, ballet, and Latin, into their routines. Astaire was paired with Rogers after he signed a movie studio contract in Hollywood, California.

This article examines portrayals of World War II American sailors in ballets and motion pictures, focusing on the works of choreographer Jerome Robbins and Gene Kelly. Issues include depictions of soldiers' carefree and easy movements, American's as subjects in dance, the use of sailors in movies especially as 'pals' or 'buddies' in groups of three or more, the permissiblity allowed by the sailor's uniform and the public image of him as a cultural hero.
