This excellent overview by John Percival begins with the birth of institutional American ballet in NYC in the '40s. It is an easy read because easily have the content is dramatic B&W photos from key productions. I didn't know about the involvement of John Cage opera and also covered is Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Isadora Duncan, and more. It is interesting how the American approach to the graph spawned both avante-garde and populist commercial forms. A bit is said about the development show more of ballet in Britain and some other Western European countries. show less
