WASHINGTON (AP) — Throughout much of the 20th century, choreographers created political dances that protested injustices, advocated reforms and showed diverse cultural expressions.

A new exhibit at the Library of Congress in Washington is now exploring the politics of dance. In “Politics and the Dancing Body,” the library offers visitors a look at how American choreographers used dance as a political tool from World War I through the Cold War.

The exhibit will be on view through July.
