Summary "Modern Dancing and Dancers" by J. E. Crawford Flitch is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution and significance of dance as an artistic expression, particularly focusing on the ballet and its renowned dancers throughout history. It assesses the shifts in societal attitudes towards dance and its role in cultural practices, shedding light on both celebrated and lesser-known figures in the dance world. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the historical perception of dance, emphasizing its cultural importance and how it has been viewed both as a serious art form and a frivolous pastime. The introduction outlines the contemporary renaissance in dance, hinting at various notable dancers who emerged during the early 20th century. The opening also notes the complexities of critiquing dance as an art form, touching on themes such as emotional expression and the relationship between the dancer and their craft, suggesting that the book will delve into the deeper meanings and nuances of dance in modern society.
