Ballet in America: The Emergence of an American Art is a comprehensive history of ballet in the United States, from its early beginnings in the 19th century to its current status as a major art form. The book is written by noted dance historian and critic Marcia Siegel, and is illustrated with over 200 photographs and drawings.

The book begins with a discussion of the early history of ballet in America, including the first ballet performances in the colonies and the establishment of the first ballet companies. Siegel then traces the development of ballet in America through the 19th and 20th centuries, discussing the work of major choreographers and dancers, the founding of major ballet companies, and the impact of ballet on American culture.
