Ballet & Modern Dance: A Concise History by Jack Anderson

Ballet and Modern Dance meets the needs of both students and inquisitive dance goers through a narrative focused on the development of Western theatrical dance from the Renaissance to the first decades of the 21st century, incorporating the most recent scholarship and projecting trends. The text is illuminated by excerpts from primary sources and embellished by 65 photos. A section of biographical profiles at the end of the book serves as a supplementary reference source. Intended to be entertaining as well as enlightening the book seeks an additional objective which is the value of dance history as a field of study.

Anderson, a native of Milwaukee and a lifelong Manhattan resident, is a well-known dance writer and critic who has contributed to publications such as The New York Times, Dancing Times (London), and New York Theatre-Wire.
