Dance materials at the Library serve as a mirror to the interest in--and commitment to--dance as an intrinsic component of the nation's cultural tapestry.
Such guidebooks were used by the traveling "dancing masters," circuit-riders of the era who traversed vast regions of the United States teaching dances to the gentry of the South and the middle and upper classes of the Northeast.
Because dance "moves," filmmakers--later, television producers--have been drawn to the dancing image since the very beginning of the film era, and dance scholars, seeing the tremendous potential for capturing the dance, immediately began to exploit film as a medium for enriching research resources.

What is intriguing, however fitfully reported, is watching the disconnect between the plot-centered Sendak, who wants to tell a Holocaust-themed tale, and Pilobolus, who are much more attuned to the plotless world of motion.
They also know better than director Mirra Bank ("Enormous Changes at the Last Minute"): The only section of "Last Dance" that really works is its end when, Bank's story having concluded, part of a performance of "The Selection" is shown.
