Chalif -- Conclusion. 520 In Shapes of American Ballet: Teachers and Training before Balanchine, author Jessica Zeller offers a new telling of the first few decades of the twentieth century as critical period for ballet's growth in America. This first-of-its-kind account of early twentieth century American ballet is situated against a bustling New York City backdrop, where mass immigration through Ellis Island brought balet from European and Russian opera houses into contact with a variety of American forms and sensibilities. Zeller describes how ballet from celebrated Euro-Russian lineages was performed in vaudeville and blended with American popular dance styles, developing new characteristics as it responded to the American economy. Shapes of American Ballet delves into ballet's struggle to define itself during this rich early twentieth century period, and it sheds new light on ballet's development of an American identity before Balanchine. -- from back cover. 610 27 Umschulungswerkstätten für Siedler und Auswanderer |gBitterfeld. |2gnd |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Ballet |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A17092 650 0 Ballet |xStudy and teaching |zUnited States. |=^A40658 650 0 Dance teachers |zUnited States. |=^A187616 650 7 Ballet. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00826017 650 7 Ballet |xStudy and teaching. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00826032 650 7 Dance teachers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00887567 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 Ballett. |2gnd 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Zeller, Jessica, 1978- |tShapes of American ballet. |dOxford ; New York : Oxford University, 2016 |z9780190296704 |w(DLC) 2016005832 949 |i30372016655745 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s36.95 |tJoyner48 |uJTHA |zUSD 596 1 998 4814099
