Why did dance and dancing became important to the construction of a
new, modern, Jewish/Israeli cultural identity in the newly formed
nation of Israel? There were questions that covered almost all
spheres of daily life, including "What do we dance?" because Hebrew
or Eretz-Israeli dance had to be created out of none. How and why
did dance develop in such a way? Dance Spreads Its Wings is the
first and only book that looks at the whole picture of concert
dance in Israel studying the growth of Israeli concert dance for 90
years-starting from 1920, when there was no concert dance to speak
of during the Yishuv (pre-Israel Jewish settlements) period, until
2010, when concert dance in Israel had grown to become one of the
country's most prominent, original, artistic fields and globally
recognized. What drives the book is the impulse to create and the
need to dance in the midst of constant political change. It is the
story of artists trying to be true to their art while also
responding to the political, social, religious, and ethnic
complexities of a Jewish state in the Middle East.
