Accessible and well researched, [combines] practical and
theoretical perspectives on ways that dance shapes the American
experience. . . . Highly recommended." - Choice
"Unpredictable. Counterintuitive. Stunningly conceived. So you
think you know dance history? These anthologies are full of
revelations." - Mindy Aloff, editor of Leaps in the Dark: Art and
the World
"This is a picture of American dance - and a picture of America
through dance - as we have not conceived of it before, advancing
the bold and capacious idea that movement can illuminate who
Americans are and who they want to be. A startlingly original
compilation that includes stops in the unlikeliest places, it makes
the case that following the moving body into every byway of life
reveals an America that has been hiding in plain sight. It will be
impossible to think of this subject in the same way again." -
Suzanne Carbonneau, George Mason University and
scholar-in-residence, Jacob's Pillow
