In Becoming Beautiful; Joanna Bosse explores the transformations undergone by the residents of a Midwestern town when they step out on the dance floor for the very first time. Bosse uses sensitive fieldwork as well as her own immersion in ballroom culture to lead readers into a community that springs up around ballroom dance. The result is a portrait of the real people who connect with others; change themselves; and join a world that foxtrots to its own rules; conventions; and rewards. Bosses eye for revealing; humorous detail adds warmth and depth to discussions around critical perspectives on the experiences the dance hall provides; the nature of partnership and connection; and the notion of how dancing allows anyone to become beautiful.
