They consider a wide range of artists, including Akarova, Gertrude Colby, Isadora Duncan, Katherine Dunham, Margaret H’Doubler, Hanya Holm, Michio Ito, Kurt Jooss, Wassily Kandinsky, Margaret Morris, Berto Pasuka, Uday Shankar, Antony Tudor, and Mary Wigman. The authors explore dancers’ responses to modernity in various ways, including within the contexts of natural dancing and transnationalism. This collection asks questions about how, in these places and times, dancing developed and responded to the experience of living in modern times, or even came out of an ambivalence about or as a reaction against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for students and practitioners of dance and those interested in new modernist studies, \u003ci\u003eDance, Modernism, and Modernity \u003c\/i\u003econsiders the development of modernism in dance as an interdisciplinary and global phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRamsay Burt\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Dance History at De Montfort University, UK.
