N2  - "A pioneer in the genesis of dance, Lester Horton (1906-53) was one of the most innovative choreographers and teachers of his time. This authoritative biography emphasizes his many contributions to the world of modern dance. Horton was choreographer and artistic director of the first interracial dance company in the U.S., his career flourishing on the West Coast, both difficult and controversial achievements in his time. As instructor of world-renowned dancers like Alvin Ailey, Bella Lewitzky, Joyce Trisler, Carmen de Lavallade, James Truitte, and many others, Horton has influenced the way generations of dancers have trained and performed. The distinctive technique he developed continually proves itself an effective, sophisticated, and adaptable staple of modern dance training"-- Back cover
