Dance Biographies
Margaret H'Doubler by Call Number: GV1785 H24 M37 2006ISBN: 9781934043295This pioneering collection of articles presents a fresh look at the life, work and seminal contributions of Margaret H'Doubler, the pioneering dance educator who established the first dance major in higher education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1926.
Biographies of dancers can best be found by searching our catalog using advanced search. Searching specifically for "dance biography" and using the drop down menu for "subject" should yield all of the biographies that we have access to on dancers. If no other changes are made to the search, this could possibly result in e-books, but approximately 70% of our collection on this topic is print books.
If this selection is not big enough, you can change the radio button from "ISU Library" to "Partner Libraries" (Partner Libraries are other academic libraries within Iowa). In addition, we have interlibrary loan available, which enables you to get practically any book published.
Dance Choreography
Dance Choreography books can be found very similarly to the biographies, except changing the term "biography" with "choreography", again using the subject drop down as your option.
