However, the notion is not entirely alien to dance. The Judson Church in New York’s Greenwich Village was the place choreographers Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs and Twyla Tharp collaborated to help create postmodern dance.

...circles within the U.S., and he plainly feels their activities and intentions were no secret either to himself or the U.S. government. Even if we don't believe every story Collins tells, his dual allegiance to America and Islam provides us with an intriguing insider's perspective on the alien world of jihad. For his part, the author says he now hopes to return to Afghanistan, "not to get involved on either side," but to interview Taliban soldiers and write a new book about the group from the inside.
