The Golden Age of Spanish Dance is a chronological history of Spanish dance, bringing together many forgotten dancers, and a unification of Spanish art forms. We have seen a handful of dance biographies always declaring their subject's career as the most important. Let's consider that we had many dancers during the same period and each one contributed, some more than others. Noting the artistic contributions made by these performers made it easier to review the period of Spanish dance as an 'era'. We placed these performers into one account, foretelling how this style of dance contributed to the overall American style of Spanish dance. Americans Ted Shawn, Ruth St. Denis, La Meri, Carmelita Maracci and Ballet Russes Anna Pavlova, Adoph Bolm, and Leonide Massine were all in some way affected by the Spanish dance. Even Hollywood and Broadway were instrumental in the birth of Hispanic culture in the country. In this first book, I have highlighted the careers of two artists, La Argentina and Vicente Escudero, who both worked together forming a part-time partnership important in this early era. Later Spaniards who exemplified the art form in America were La Argentinita, Pilar Lopez, Rosario, with Antonio, and their companies as part of the new book Legends of Spanish & Flamenco Dance.
