Dance on the American Musical Theatre Stage: A History chronicles
the development of dance, with an emphasis on musicals and the
Broadway stage, in the United States from its colonial beginnings
to performances of the present day. This book explores the
fascinating tug-and-pull between the European classical, folk and
social dance imports and America's indigenous dance forms as they
met and collided on the popular musical theatre stage. The
historical background influenced a specific musical theatre
movement vocabulary and a unique choreographic approach that is
recognizable today as Broadway style dancing. Throughout the book,
a cultural context is woven into the history to reveal how the
competing values within American culture, and its attempts as a
nation to define and redefine itself, played out through
developments in dance on the musical theatre stage. This book is
central to the conversation on how dance influences and reflects
society, and will be of interest to students and scholars of
Musical Theatre, Theatre Studies, Dance and Cultural History.
