520 _aThis companion volume to the Emmy Award-winning PBS television series offers a complete history of dance in America and a behind-the-scenes look at companies, choreographers, and individual dancers. Coe shows how ballet, with its roots in France and Russia, has undergone a renaissance in the United States. Focusing on the New York City Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre, and Balanchine's contributions, he offers examples of the expansion of ballet's popularity in the Feld Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. He also describes the origins of modern dance, the contributions of its pioneers Isadora Duncan, Loie Fuller and Denishawn, and the artistic revolution of Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. He covers postmodernists such as Paul Taylor and Katherine Dunham, and concludes with a portrait of Twyla Tharp. ISBN 0-525-24325-9
