The textbook is a valuable addition to any dance history course and its content might also contribute to learning in history, cultural studies, ethnic studies, and area studies fields. Its accessible language, straightforward structure, and compelling chapter content would make for an excellent entry point into the field of dance studies."Miya Shaffer, Dance Chronicle, USA Long Description This introduction to world dance charts the diverse histories and stories of dancers and artists through ten key moments that have shaped the vast spectrum of different forms and genres that we see today.
