| Summary | "The Dance: Its Place in Art and Life" by Troy Kinney and Margaret West Kinney is a comprehensive examination of dance as an art form, likely written in the early 20th century. This work analyzes the history and evolution of dance from ancient civilizations through various cultural epochs, discussing its significance in artistic expression and social ritual. Focusing on diverse styles ranging from classical ballet to folk dances and the rituals of ancient religions, the authors aim to enhance appreciation of dance among readers regardless of their prior expertise. The opening portion of the book establishes the foundational role of dance in human culture, emphasizing its emotional expression and ritualistic significance throughout history. It traces the importance of dance from the rituals of ancient Egypt and Greece, detailing how it served as a form of communal expression and individual celebration tied closely to spiritual beliefs. By highlighting examples from biblical texts and classical philosophers like Plato, the authors illustrate the reverence for dance as both an artistic and communal activity, laying the groundwork for the deeper exploration of dance's place within various art forms to follow in later chapters.
