Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Shapes of American Ballet' introduces several lesser-known European and Russian ballet teachers who worked in New York City before Balanchine. Taking into account the effects of America's economic system and the early twentieth century popular stage, this text looks anew at American ballet as derived from multiple influences and lineages. |
