Summary: This book is about Martha Graham's dance "Appalachian Spring" and how many dancers, choreographers, and other people come together to make this beautiful dance come alive. Many artists are solo artists. Painters, singers, and photographers can work alone but this book shows that a ballet dance must have multiple people involved and working together. This a good book for a classroom to show how working together can help make master pieces.
