Description

This book explores the early life and influences of George Balanchine, one of the most influential choreographers of the 20th century. It delves into his formative years in Russia, the impact of the Russian Revolution on his work, and his collaboration with his 'lost muse,' Lidia Ivanova. Elizabeth Kendall provides a detailed account of Balanchine's development as a choreographer and his eventual rise to prominence in the world of ballet.
