  1. Identify one political event or sociopolitical circumstance that occurred during the late 1800’s to early 1900’s in America based on what you learned from the readings. How and why did this event influence the social dance customs of the time? 
  2. After reading “The Movement of Ragtime” chapter in the article, Race Relations in Ragtime, do you agree with the author regarding the topic of whether the Castles (male and female dance duo) were appropriating African-American dance forms and movements for their own benefit? The author argues that the couple were players in a cyclical development of Ragtime dances, and therefore their removal of African-American styles from the dance was okay because the Castles created their own version. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Please discuss your thoughts and reasoning
