The Art of Dance by Jennifer Toynbee-Holmes

Since the birth of the human civilisations, dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations, a method of healing and means of expression and entertainment. Using stills and video clips we take a look at dance as an art form from its earliest beginnings; through the birth and rapid development of ballet throughout Europe, the explosion of modern dance in the early 20th century a time of unprecedented creative growth for dancers and choreographers and with the growth of post-modernism from the 1960s the expansion of street dance, hip-hop, break dancing and rock dance.
Jennifer Toynbee-Holmes is an experienced guide at Tate Britain and Tate Modern and lectures at various art societies and institutions. She has a special interest in British and European art of the late 18th, 19th and early 20th century. Having gained an MA in film and television practice, Jennifer had a career spanning fifteen years as a television producer/director making documentaries and factual programmes for the BBC, (including Tomorrow's World), ITV and Channel 4.
