With a sure grasp of shifting cultural dynamics, Banes shows how postmodern dance is integrally connected to other oppositional, often marginalized strands of dance culture, and considers how certain kinds of dance move from the margins to the mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBanes begins by considering the act of dance criticism itself, exploring its modes, methods, and underlying assumptions and examining the work of other critics. She traces the development of contemporary dance from the early work of such influential figures as Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine to such contemporary choreographers as Molissa Fenley, Karole Armitage, and Michael Clark. She analyzes the contributions of the Judson Dance Theatre and the Workers' Dance League, the emergence of Latin postmodern dance in New York, and the impact of black jazz in Russia. In addition, Banes explores such untraditional performance modes as breakdancing and the \"drunk dancing\" of Fred Astaire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Terpsichore in Sneakers: Post-Modern Dance (Revised) | Sally Banes | Paperback | 0819561606 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks B 1777795","offer_id":49765897994392,"sku":"1777795","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71zEy0x5IaL.jpg?v=1787971943","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/terpsichore-in-sneakers-post-modern-dance-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
