This article presents information on the book "Dance," by Lincoln Kirstein. Kirstein has written a very enthusiastic and lively book in "Dance," subtitled "A Short History of Theatrical Dancing." He starts with ancient Egypt and ends with the school of the American Ballet, touching briefly in his progress on Greek tragedy, the Roman theater, early Christianity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and numerous other topics down to Mary Wigman. Included are a chronological list of important events in the history of the dance, an index, a good bibliography, a list of recordings of music for theatrical dancing, and a large collection of pictures with good explanatory notes.
