"An indispensable addition to the history of dance, this biography of a great dancer, teacher, and choreographer is based on interviews, tapes, articles, and reviews concerned with her theories, personality, and associations. Her intellectual and artistic training in Germany, her partnership with Mary Wigman, her establishment of schools of the dance in New York and Colorado, and her choreography for opera and such musicals as My Fair Lady are set forth by a dance critic who is a contributing editor of Dance magazine. Appended are a chronology, a list of Holm’s essays, a list of her awards, and sources.”—Booklist
