Works

Hippo in a Tutu: Dancing in Disney Animation
“ . . . priceless . . . . a level of Disney-history erudition which is hard to find outside of books written by Disney specialists”—Didier Ghez, disneybooks.blogspot.com

Dance Anecdotes
"Mindy Aloff redefines the notion of anecdote as topical fluff. While her book has its share of today’s amusing stories, the reader will also find a range of subjects from Ancient Greece to the courts of France to Balanchine and a look, both serious and humorous, at such issues as stagefright, criticism, creativity, and backstage politics."
--Nancy Reynolds, Director of Research at The George Balanchine Foundation and co-author of No Fixed Points: Dance in the Twentieth Century
