Synopsis:

In this landmark anthology, dance critic Mindy Aloff (Hippo in a Tutu) brings together an astonishing array of writers - dancers and dance creators, impresarios and critics, and enthusiastic literary observers - to trace the evolution of American dance in all its many forms and locales, classical, modern, and vernacular. The range of perspectives on display is staggering. Here are the most acclaimed dance critics; the most inventive and influential choreographers and dancers; and a dazzling roster of major literary figures.

About the Author: Mindy Aloff has taught dance criticism and history at Barnard College and serves as editor of the Dance Critics Association News and consultant to The George Balanchine Foundation. She is the author of Dance Anecdotes: Stories from the Worlds of Ballet, Broadway, the Ballroom, and Modern Dance (2006) and Hippo in a Tutu: Dancing in Disney Animation (2008). She edited Agnes de Mille's Leaps in the Dark: Art and the World (2011). Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Village Voice, The Atlantic, The Nation, The New Republic, and many other periodicals and anthologies.
