Book Content:
Blurb -
"From Martha Graham to the Bolshoi, from Nijinksy to Nureyev, the versatility of dance is immense, its fascination endless. 'Ballet and Dance' is a unique approach to this popular subject, giving new insight into the background of both classical ballet and contemporary dance companies.
The foundation, growth and development of more than 50 of the world's leading companies are traced in detail and their present activities are closely examined. While special attention is given to the major choreographers and the famous international stars associated with each individual company, the book concentrates on the companies themselves, for it is these which ultimately provide the vital impulse for dance activity. Principal dancers, choreographers, repertoires and touring programmes are some of the major aspects which are dealt with in depth.
Lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs of dancers in action, 'Ballet and Dance' is essential reading for dance lovers of all ages and an ideal introduction for the newcomer."
