Christensen Brothers: An American Dance Epic (Choreography and Dance Studies Series)

Debra Hickenlooper Sowell

4.9/5 (15307 ratings)

Description:With members of four generations deeply involved in music and dancing, the Christensen Brothers are indisputably the United States' closest equivalent to the European tradition of dance dynasties. Their story sheds light on the history of ballet in twentieth-century America, both through their accomplishments as dancers, teachers, and company directors, and through their association with some of the most significant figures of the dance world such as Lincoln Kirstein, George Balanchine, Sol Hurok, and the Ford Foundation's W. McNeil Lowry. This triple biography encompasses the brothers' Mormon pioneer heritage, the circumstances that led them to enter vaudeville with a ballet act, and the rise and fall especially in the American West of companies with which they were associated for over six decades of their lives. This book provides an alternative to the New York-oriented volumes that so often pass as histories of American dance.Debra Hickenlooper Sowell received the De la Torre Bueno Special CiWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
