Abstract:
"This book analyzes the role of men in dance. It sketches the historical background and examines, for the first time, the different qualities, both physiological and psychological, that make up the various types of dancer. It presents a gallery of the finest artists, all vividly illustrated, giving attention to many from all over the world and through the ages, but concentrating on those extraordinary dancers--for instance, Nureyev and Baryshnikov--whose names send people crowding to the box office"--From publisher description.
