Description
The book commences with the history of Indian, Egyptian, Arab, and flamenco dance then compares and contrasts the history of both classical ballet and flamenco.
“It is a great pleasure to endorse Barbara File Marangon’s book on flamenco and the Ballets Russes in which she explores one of the richest periods in the history of ballet layered with the enduring and evocative art of flamenco. As a disciplined and thorough researcher, Marangon has created a book that will no doubt be of great value as a text, but it is also an intriguing read as it recounts in detail the dynamic intersection of flamenco and ballet in the early part of the last century.”
Professor Mary Margaret Holt, Dean, Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts, Chair, Regents’ Professor, and Nichols Presidential Professor, University of Oklahoma
