All in the dances - Terry Teachout

Twenty years after his death, George Balanchine still dominates the world of ballet. Not only have his works been danced by the New York City Ballet continuously since 1948, but they also have been performed by more than two dozen other companies throughout the world. In clear and elegant writing, Terry Teachout brings to life the dramatic story of George Balanchine, a Russian migr who fell in love with American culture, married four times and kept a mistress on the side, and transformed the art of ballet forever.
