Reviews
"Overall, this text is a wonderful resource for dance educators. It fills a critical gap that has existed in the literature and is a comprehensive survey of non-Western dance traditions. There is plenty of information here that would allow an instructor to design a course that could stretch beyond a single semester. Every chapter is supplemented with: (1) firsthand descriptions including relevant articles from scholars and anthropologists in the field, and (2), questions that stimulate group discussions and thought-provoking insights, encouraging critical analysis." - Timothy Cowart, Journal of Dance Education
