11/24/2012 Interesting documentary chronicling the history of dance at the Berkshire's Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Many famous dancers and choreographers passed through this artist colony to share their talent with the world. If you are a lover of all forms of dance, you won't want to miss this one. Now I'd like to enjoy a live performance sometime. See more Read all reviews
