Reviews
"Although Pugh's scholarship is considerable, she is writing not for a scholarly but for a general audience. . . . The author has a dancer's grace in the flow of her prose. . . . Pugh gracefully dances the fine line between critic and fan."-- Kirkus Reviews, "With her locomotive prose, virtuosic analysis, and acrobatic storytelling, Megan Pugh brings America's most dazzling dancers stair-tapping and moonwalking back to life. With profound historical insight, she also shows how these gravity-defying heroes made their highwire crossings - between 'high' and 'low' taste, between classes and races - only look like a cakewalk. America Dancing is more exhilarating, and more revealing, than cultural history has a right to be." JOHN BECKMAN, author of American Fun: Four Centuries of Joyous Revolt, "Pugh handles dance as an art form and its historical context with equal deftness. She builds her book around the personal stories of some of the biggest names in American dance. . . . Not only does Pugh draw sometimes unexpected connections among them and place them within her larger story, she also describes their dancing so vividly that readers will want to see the dances themselves."-- Shelf Awareness , Starred Review, "With her locomotive prose, virtuosic analysis, and acrobatic storytelling, Megan Pugh brings America's most dazzling dancers stair-tapping and moonwalking back to life. With profound historical insight, she also shows how these gravity-defying heroes made their highwire crossings - between 'high' and 'low' taste, between classes and races - only look like a cakewalk. America Dancing is more exhilarating, and more revealing, than cultural history has a right to be." JOHN BECKMAN, author of American Fun: Four Centuries of Joyous Revolt, "Valuable, original, refreshing, wide-ranging. . . . Ms. Pugh's writing is excellent, and the book is mind opening. To an invaluable extent, it's about the influences of African-Americans on American dance. . . . The breadth and wealth of information often dazzle. . . . This book alters and enriches American dance history. It doesn't change the record of what happened when; instead, it revises our sense of how things came to pass."--Alastair Macaulay, New York Times, "This history sizzles, glides, soars, skitters, hammers, taps, and leaps through decades as well as diverse dance forms, from the worlds of cinema to Broadway, ballet and beyond. An exciting, important book!" PEGGY and MURRAY SCHWARTZ, authors of The Dance Claimed Me: A Biography of Pearl Primus, "Pugh executes some fancy footwork of her own; and like Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson taking flight up a flight of stairs (and back down again), Pugh nimbly keeps step with a chronology that's given to doubling back abruptly and leaping forward."-- Boston Globe, "This history sizzles, glides, soars, skitters, hammers, taps, and leaps through decades as well as diverse dance forms, from the worlds of cinema to Broadway, ballet and beyond. An exciting, important book!" PEGGY and MURRAY SCHWARTZ, authors of The Dance Claimed Me: A Biography of Pearl Primus, "As signifying dancers, men and women fly out of this deep, long-nurtured book. In clear and sensual prose, Megan Pugh has fashioned a history of modern America in gestures and movement. The pages never hold still." GREIL MARCUS, author of The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs and Real Life Rock, "As signifying dancers, men and women fly out of this deep, long-nurtured book. In clear and sensual prose, Megan Pugh has fashioned a history of modern America in gestures and movement. The pages never hold still." GREIL MARCUS, author of The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs and Real Life Rock
