Jacob’s Pillow, that invaluable centre for dance in the Berkshires, has, over the years, made films and videos of many of its presentations, some of the most avant garde and priceless dance ensembles of the past, the present and, indeed, the future.

Many of these videos are just snippets, but no less valuable for that. Here, they have collected many unrelated dance excerpts from all the different genres, to give us a taste of the breadth and range of dance in the 20th and 21st centuries.
​
This is part of the ever-growing collection of dance videos filmed at Jacob’s Pillow from the 1930s to today.
