"Dancing, the companion volume to an eight-part series made for public television, seeks to understand why this is so and to show how dance has enriched the world's cultures.
In richly detailed and vivid prose, Dancing explores carefully selected examples of great dance traditions to illuminate the many functions dance performs in cultures around the world.  Using new research from the fields of dance history and anthropology; as well as interviews and his own travels throughout the dance world, author Gerald Jonas weaves together descriptions of dance traditions from six continents." -- from the book jacket
