Summary

Karen Eliot closely examines the lives and careers of five popular female dancers: Giovanna Baccelli, Adegrave;le Dumilacirc;tre, Tamara Karsavina, Moira Shearer, and Catherine Kerr. Notable dancers in European and Russian ballet and American modern dance genres, these women represent a historical cross section of performance, training, and technique. Elegantly guiding the reader through the Russian Revolution, stage fright and illness, liaisons with aristocracy, movie stardom, and dancing rivalries,Dancing Livesprovides behind-the-curtain insight into the culture in which each woman performed. Karen Eliot is a professor of dance at Ohio State University. Trained in ballet and modern dance, she is an alumna of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
