Editorial Reviews

More than anything, St. Denis spread the gospel of modern dance and converted casual spectators into a staunch batallion of followers. But Shelton has not allowed her to remain an icon. In this, detachment is the author's most powerful gift. It has enabled her to translate our nostalgic illusions into an informed view of the colorful, hardy stock that we can identify as the real roots of American dance.
