Summary:
"In this book, Arnold Haskell, Director of Britain's Royal Ballet School, asks many questions about dance, and his answers make fascinating reading. Hopscotch and prehistoric labyrinths, the slave trade and the Charleston, ballets and banquets, all find a place in this survey. But they are not treated as mere anecdotes. They form a pattern that puts world dancing--from African tribal ceremony to the city discotheque--in perspective in time and place." -- from the book jacket
