Review:
"Besides informing general readers who have a serious interest in the art of dance, the book will guide teachers and their students through early stages of scholarly inquiry and reward established practitioners with its subtext, which repeatedly recasts the dilemma of relating the experiential and the reflexive." -"Dance Chronicle
