• Spotlights zooming in on key details of a dance form’s cultural, historical, and religious contexts
• Explorations—first-hand descriptions by famous dancers and ethnographers, excerpts from anthropological fieldwork, or historical writings on the form
• Think About—provocations to encourage critical analysis of dance forms and the ways in which they’re understood

Offering a comprehensive overview of each dance form covered with over 100 full color photos, World Dance Cultures is an essential introductory resource for students and instructors alike.
