This book contains a melting pot of cultures from around the world, and their traditions in dance. It gives historical information as well. A very good read for not only dancers, but anthropologists as well.

My book got sent back to Katrina due to an issue with the address. She was amazing with getting it sent back out to me immediately. I am satisfied with my book. I am also thankful I wasn't charged double shipping for the inconvenience.

Great resource! I have the video series and this book to help teach dance history portion of my high school dance classes.

I ordered this book for school, so I'm rating it based on appearance, not content! The book was listed as used-very good, but I would have accepted like new. The only sign that it was used was that the corners were slightly worn, but it's barely noticeable. No markings and nothing torn. Plus, it was half the price of if I had bought it through the school!

The book was fine. It was for Wayne State University's DNC 1000 course. I found the book to be easy reading and informative. It gives you insight on different dance forms from around the world and gives you a fuller appreciation of dance as an art. :-)Thanks !

this was a textbook for school, but I did find it very informative and interesting. You will enjoy the class if they use this book.

This was a very interesting and informative book. I bought it for a class but I would have enjoyed reading it on my own.

This is a textbook for my daughter who is away at college, she says it has a wonderful overview of the history of dance.
