Dance Suite displays a variety of historical dance forms from a twentieth century viewpoint by this composer of distinction. The six dances move forward historically from the ancient Hey, through Waltz and Polka, to the sophisticated Tango and the jazz tradition. The rhythm that typifies each dance is constantly under attack, sometimes from a different dance style altogether. These intrusive elements are most obvious in the final dance, Break Dance, and prompts the double meaning of the title.
