Making ballet American : modernism before and beyond Balanchine / Andrea Harris.

• George Balanchine's arrival in the United States in 1933, it is widely thought, changed the course of ballet history by creating a bold and original neoclassical style that is celebrated as the first successful 'American' manifestation of the art form. 'Making Ballet American' intervenes in the prevailing historical narrative and rebalances Balanchine's role in dance history by revealing the social, cultural, and political forces that actually shaped the Americanization of neoclassical ballet.
