In the light of a thoughtful re-appraisal of dance classicism he locates the roots of modern ballet in the works of Marius Petipa, rather than in the much-celebrated choreographic experiements of Diaghilev's \u003cem\u003eBallet Russe\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eNot only is this the first book to present nineteenth- and twentieth-century ballet as a continuous rather than broken tradition, \u003cem\u003eFrom Petipa to Balanchine\u003c\/em\u003e places works such as \u003cem\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLes Sylphides\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eApollo\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eJewells\u003c\/em\u003e in their proper cultural and artistic context.\u003cbr\u003eThe only English-language study to be based on the original Russian soures, this book will be essential reading for all dance scholars.
