DETROIT – A new exhibit organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts presents more than 90 paintings, sculptures, photographs and costumes to celebrate and explain the importance of dance in American culture.

“Dance! American Art 1830-1960” opens Sunday at the Detroit museum and runs until June 12. After its Detroit run it’s scheduled to travel to the Denver Art Museum in July and to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas in October.

“Dance has such a rich history and has touched all segments of American society,” the Detroit museum’s Director Salvador Salort-Pons said in a statement. “This exhibition is not only about the representation of the art of dance, it explores how artists were inspired by how Americans move, how they interacted with each other and experienced the rhythm of music.”
