Description
"From 1973 until 1998 Arlene Croce wrote The New Yorker's Dancing column, which was created for her. Her reviews and essays revealed the logic and history of ballet, modern dance, and their post-modern variants to a generation of theatergoers. The reviews offer vital commentary on the late workds of George Balanchine and on such classics as The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, and Cinderella. Ms. Croce chronicles the flourishing careers of Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Mark Morris, Merce Cunningham, show more Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Suzanne Farrell and, as the century ends, the problematic status of the great national ballet companies; New York City Ballet, Britain's Royal Ballet, and Russia's Kirov and Bolshoi Ballets."--Jacket. show lessTags
