Summary:
"Liveliest of the lively arts, dance is both a joyous and a meaningful cultural expression. From the beginning of time men have danced to express their deepest emotions: ecstasy, anguish, fear, longing. There have been dances to bring rain, dances to celebrate the harvest, dances of birth, puberty, marriage, and death. These rites have taken every imaginable form and have been performed in every conceivable place--in open-air amphitheaters, in temple compounds, in garden bevlederes, in palace drawing rooms." -- from the book jacket
