Belle-eacute;poque Paris witnessed the emergence of a vibrant and diverse dance scene; one that crystallized around the Ballets Russes; the Russian dance company formed by impresario Sergey Diaghilev. The company has long served as a convenient turning point in the history of dance; celebrated for its revolutionary choreography and innovative productions. This book presents a fresh slant on this much-told history. Focusing on the relation between music and dance; Davinia Caddy approaches the Ballets Russes with a wide-angled lens that embraces not just the choreographic; but also the cultural; political; theatrical and aesthetic contexts in which the company made its name. In addition; Caddy examines and interprets contemporary French dance practices; throwing new light on some of the most important debates and discourses of the day.
