The Book of the Dance by Agnes de Mille (1965, Bookplan) is a landmark work that explores the art, history, and cultural significance of dance from both a scholarly and deeply personal perspective. As one of America’s most influential choreographers, de Mille combines her professional expertise with vivid narrative to examine how dance has evolved across civilizations, from classical ballet to folk traditions, social dances, and modern choreography. This edition provides a rare opportunity to access her insights in a beautifully structured and readable volume.
