Rigorously trained from an early age by a perfectionist instructor, Polina is a promising classical ballet dancer. She is just about to join the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet when she discovers contemporary dance, a revelation that throws everything into question on a profound level.

Judging by its absence in several studies of Lost Generation literature, the novel appears a lesser contribution-or no contribution at all-to the body of fiction about Americans in interwar Europe, especially the environment of Paris.2 Neglect of Save Me the Waltz, particularly alongside its roman a clef counterparts The Sun Also Rises and Tender Is the Night, affirms Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald as the preeminent storytellers of American lives in post-World War I Europe, with the fiction of Djuna Barnes and Kay Boyle more recently recognized for this significance. [...]the relationship between Fitzgerald's experience with ballet and the novel is far richer and more historically significant. Besides being an epicenter of experimentation in literature, visual art, music, and fashion in the early twentieth century,3 Paris was also central to evolution in the world of dance, and the Ballets Russes was the most influential dance movement in the first half of the twentieth century. [...]recent scholarship asserting the connections between modernist studies and dance provides compelling reason to revisit this novel. According to Cline, Fitzgerald, who studied ballet in her formative years in Montgomery, began lessons with Lubov Egorova (also known as Princess Troubetskoy), a retired balle- rina of the Ballets Russes, in Paris in the fall of 1925 (178-79).

Pacarrete is an elderly ballet dancer from Brazil who may just be slightly crazy. After her retirement as a dance and ballet instructor, she goes back to her hometown. However, still fearless at her age, she decides to give a dance performance as a \"gift to the people\" on the eve of the city's bicentennial celebration. But it seems nobody cares about Pacarrete. This absorbing comedic drama stars Marcelia Cartaxo (\"The Hour of the Star\").

Este artigo apresenta as leituras que moveram o trabalho da coreógrafa Lia Rodrigues (1956), desde os anos 1990, até sua peça de 2016, Para que o céu não caia. O estudo elenca obras de ficção e não ficção, incluindo literatura, filosofia e antropologia, que serviram de dispositivos disparadores para as dramaturgias dos trabalhos, sem, contudo, buscar traduzir a palavra escrita de forma linear ou narrativa em dança. A análise apresenta estas dobras coreográficas, quefogem de uma leitura convencional, para atingir estados corporais nos bailarinos. O levantamento das leituras é apresentado em sua relação com o repertório da companhia, propondo diálogos de fragmentos dos textos com a dança.

Cet ouvrage, croisant les sciences sociales à l'art chorégraphique, propose de répondre à la question \"Pourquoi les filles font-elles de la danse ?\" et d'en élucider le sens. Il se compose, d'une part, d'un travail d'anthropologie historique et, d'autre part, d'une ethnographie de terrain permettant de saisir les enjeux identitaires et socioculturels de la danse féminine. La question posée est celle, anthropologique, des représentations collectives et des pratiques qui façonnent les identités sexuées en Occident.
