You might try The Shirley Temple Fan Page at:
 
        http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/8038/
 
It includes lyrics to many of the songs, which might allow you to infer
the circumstances of the dance numbers, and there are a number of links
on the list that might lead to more specific information.
