5.0 out of 5 stars A great book
I chanced upon this book when I was researching the origins of women's dance in the Middle East. The book was very helpful with this specific topic, and--more importantly--it helped me understand how dance, sex roles, sexuality, and culture intertwine. Hannah covers historic and contemporary dance forms from around the world. Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars Way Too Textbookey
I wish I could have enjoyed this book better. I read it on the heels of another recently published book on ballet. This book is just way too much of a hash of information with footnotes: a bit of information here, a bit there. And not much depth to the analysis. I felt as if I was back in college and I had to read it. Too bad.
