Jerome Robbins Dance Division Coloring Books: Volume 12, Asian American Dancers (#danceincolor)
To mark Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, in our latest coloring book we honor the many Asian American dancers represented in our collections. Asian American dance artists have appeared on U.S. stages since the nineteenth century, from ethnologic exhibits to Chinese operas, from vaudeville to Hollywood films and television to the concert stage. They have worked behind the scenes, sometimes anonymously, to train and inspire others and choreograph in ballet and modern dance as well as dance from their own heritages. Learn about ten of these artists from the twentieth century in the short biographies we've provided at the end of the volume.
