Balanchine, Celebrating a Life in Dance is a tribute to twentieth-century ballet's most influential choreographer. Even before founding the New York City Ballet with Lincoln Kirstein, George Balanchine had achieved international recognition as a dance innovator. Creating dances for his own company, Balanchine's insights reinvigorated ballet by combining new forms with the traditional while dancing to contemporary musical scores. The works that emerged from this synthesis of styles brought new audiences to dance, as well as new meaning and relevance to the art of dance. To commemorate the centenary of Balanchine's birth, Balanchine explores fifty of the choreographer's greatest works. A host of the most recognised names in dance have come together in this book to pay tribute to George Balanchine in essays that recall their personal experiences with 'Mr B' and offer analysis of his masterpieces.
