Summary:

A book that explores an episode in the history of the avant-garde movements of the 1960s: the experimental revival of modern dance in Buenos Aires. "In contrast to other countries in Latin America, during the first half of the 20th century, modern dance was well received in Argentina. This is reflected in audiences at local theatres, the opening of schools and the creation of companies and groups that would train several generations of dancers. The Second World War bought the visits of American companies preventing from touring Europe, and several tours in the continent were organized. In addition, the rise of the Nazis saw many Jewish dancers from Austria and Germany move to Argentina where they introduced new movements and techniques." --Page 15.
