I loved seeing the DVD! That was the jewel of this book. The book is a good perspective on the niche category of Aerial Dance. It does a good job of explaining the difference between Aerial Dance and other forms of Aerial performance. I felt like I had a good handle on the art after reading this and watching the accompanying DVD. It is inspirational, informative and helpful- It has a nice list at the back of places to learn Aerial Dance and to buy equipment. Some of the listings were obsolete, I found.

I was really searching for a book that had more practical stuff like how to execute certain moves and this is not the book for that. However, for anyone who is curious about this art form this is a great read.

The aerial dance performances of twelve leading companies on DVD accompany something truly unique: the first book to profile this new dance genre. From its historical roots to how to become an aerial dancer and how to judge aerial performances differently, AERIAL DANCE offers insights and direction from experts who developed and work in this genre. Any library strong in modern dance in general needs this.
