I always wanted to do more research on Native American dance, and this book is perfect for it. It is very informative, with respectful writers who explain aspects of the dance, and show a lot of dance steps in an easy- to -follow how to tutorial. I didn't expect so much when I ordered the book, and I was pleasantly surprised with the detail, the backgrounds of the dance, and the illustrations of the dance. This is a must-have book for American Indian dance fans who want to delve into the culture.
