Fortunately, her thoughts, feelings, and insights survive not only in her published poetry, articles, and books but also in the hundreds of notes and notebooks, dance descriptions, letters, and other materials in her archives. At an early age, La Meri began publishing her poetry, and, later, works about her own life experiences and about dance and its many manifestations. After some discussion of La Meri’s poetry and the books of poems that she published, this chapter focuses mostly on the six books that deal with dance. These books include her autobiography (a memoir of her professional life) and five works that provide information and discussion about dance as an art form: including Spanish dance, Indian dance, choreography, and “ethnic dance,” a term she claimed to have coined. In her dance writings she also sets forth her theoretical, aesthetic and pedagogical conceptions and ideas.","PeriodicalId":439457,"journal":{"name":"La Meri and Her Life in Dance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130403202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also includes information about the European tours Carreras arranged for La Meri in 1930 and their marriage in 1931. In Italy, La Meri also began teaching and directing a group of student dancers.

The second section introduces what La Meri termed “ethnic ballets,” new works she choreographed (usually with a story line and characters) that incorporated the technique of one of the international dance languages she had studied. Since most audience members were unfamiliar with what they were viewing, explanations were a useful and appreciated addition. Lilian therefore gave introductions to each dance, and this became a regular feature of La Meri’s concerts.
