Lester Horton Technique - The Warm-Up Dance DVD Video - Jazz Dance DVD
This is a revolutionary dance training tape for both modern dance and exercise
enthusiasts. This unique program is designed to prepare dancers for rehearsal and
performance. The technique's creator, Lester Horton, was determined to develop a warm-up
that did not limit how the body could move, and that was anatomically corrective. As a
result, his method has enormous variety, range and complexity. Many noted dancers began
their dance training with Horton and used the technique with their own students. Horton
protegees lead a group of young professional dancers through leg swings, metatarsal
presses and fortifications in this exclusive presentation. For the professional dancer who
needs to build strength, agility and flexibility, this tape provides important
injury-preventing techniques. It's also an excellent way for the non-dancer or athlete to
do a non-aerobic workout that helps develop grace and relieves muscle stress. 45 mins. (1990/2005) DVD-All-Region.

Denishawn Dances On! Dance DVD Video - Modern Dance DVD
Between 1919 and 1931, Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, and
their company toured the entire United States, England, Cuba, and the Far East. Within
that period, they created some 300 pieces, using their original technique based on classic
ballet discipline molded to pliant bodies and bare feet, with emphasis on various ethnic
cultures. With this new expression of movement, they became the creators of the
choreography from which American Modern Dance evolved. Sadly, little of the rich body of
work from that time could be visually preserved. Only over the last twenty years did
Barton Munaw, a member of Denishawn in its last year, and Jane Sherman, the last
living member of the original Denishawn company, succeed in creating this
video-documentary - the largest re-creation of Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn's dances in
existence, featuring 23 powerful works of the Mother and Father of American Modern Dance.
With the issue of this video, their mission to preserve these seminal works from oblivion
has been accomplished. 100 mins. (2002/2006) DVD-All-Region.

Denishawn: The Birth of Modern Dance DVD Video - - Modern Dance DVD
This historic dance documentary tells the story of one of the least publicized, yet
most-influential modern dance companies in America. Founded
by Ruth St. Denis and her husband Ted Shawn at the turn of the century, Denishawn has
become legendary for its unique approach to contemporary dance. Martha Graham, Jack Cole, Doris Humphrey, Charles
Weidman and countless others have built their companies and their work on the foundation
established by St. Denis and Shawn. Incorporating
elements of Far and Middle Eastern dances to create abstract pieces they called
“musical visualizations,” the couple rejected the tradition of basing dances on
fairy tales: their dancers played human beings, not sugarplums or swans. Husband-and-wife actors Paul and June Reed
portray the Shawns in “interview” segments, and rare film footage of the real
St. Denis and Shawn show them at the peak of their creative talents. The current Denishawn
Company re-stages some of the founders’ original choreography, which
remains as vital and modern today as it was then. DVD-All-Region.
