               We all know Claudia Gitelman as an immaculate scholar, and her book, Dancing With Principle, Hanya Holm in Colorado, 1941-1983, proves us right.  However, along with facts she gives us a lot of reminescent fun.  Along with where, how, why, what, and when, she tells about much about “who,” and most of them we all know.


               The years she covers are the years of the coming of age of American Modern Dance, reminding us of the aesthetic debt we owe to Hanya.  There are so many hidden goodies regarding movement and aesthetic philosophy that I became reacquainted the energy, drive and purpose that I knew as Hanya.
