World History of the Dance
More inclusive than any other art, the dance has been associated with every phase of human life. We read that the Indian divorces his wife in the dance and, when he is ill, dances to dispel the disease; and that once in front of the Turkish soldiers sixty Greek mothers and girls danced the old Romaiika as they threw themselves one after another into the abyss. In relation to their historical setting the author deals with the magic powers attributed to the dance, and such motives as fertility, war, marriage and health.
World History of the Dance, written with rare force and insight, The book includes analyses of many forms of the art--sitting dances, dances of the hands, solo, group and couple dances--and a discussion of rhythm and melody in relation to the dance.But it is not only because of its informative character that the book is distinguished.
