Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
YA A one-volume dance source that does it all, this is a history of dance from prehistory to the 20th Century. An extensive bibliography suggests titles for further research, and the index makes research within the volume simple. The "Short Profiles" is a handy brief biographical source. Each chapter ends with one or more short selections from primary sources.
Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Now expanded and updated, this second edition of the original bestseller is an engaging interpretation of dance history—from the Ancient Greeks and European royal courts to the rise of the “American“ ballet and the explosion of modern dance. Short profiles, an extensive bibliography, a helpful index, and selections from primary sources are also included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, thorough & easy to read, April 27, 2000
By Joanna (California) - See all my reviews
This book is especially interesting and easy to follow. It provides a sound overview of the history of dance with special focus on ballet and modern dance. This book introduces the novice to the legendary art of dance and captures the reader's attention with crafty storytelling. I particularly enjoyed the portion focusing on the history of ballet. Anderson introduces the reader to many of the individuals who shaped and popularized this art form while providing a firm background of the origins and development of this art. This book begins with a history of dance in the Greco-Roman era and brings the reader full circle with discussions of recent triumphs in dance. Anderson creates a book that is informative and thorough while presenting the reader with drawings and photographs of many influential artists and great performances.
