Seems like it would be useful as an addition to Dennis's recs. http://www.amazon.com/Dancefilm-Choreography-Moving-Erin-Brannigan/dp/0195367243/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315367984&sr=1-1 On 9/1/11 6:10 PM, "Dennis Doros" <milefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > There are thousands of them going back to Loie Fuller and the many, many > copycats from before 1900.
