Product Description

Review

Informative, scholarly and entertaining, this volume is an addictive read The Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

With over 2,500 entries covering all aspects of dance, this unique dictionary is the only one of its kind available. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date dictionary of dance in paperback, ranging from classical ballet to the cutting edge of modern dance. It provides all the information necessary for dance fans to navigate the current diverse dance scene. During the last twenty years the boundaries of dance have been radically redrawn. There has been an explosion of new activity within traditional forms like ballet, a stream of new dance languages invented by fresh generations of choreographers, and there is a growing appreciation of cultural dance forms from around the world. Fans today are likely to attend performances as varied as Spanish flamenco, Indian bharata natyam, Japanese butoh, classical ballet, and post-modern dance. With an emphasis on performance - the dance we see in our theatres today - readers will find both fact and analysis on a wide range of subjects, from styles of dance and the history of dance companies and their productions, to dancers, choreographers, and technical terms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you always wanted to know about dance - and more, 16 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Comprehensive A-Z of dance, from hip-hop to belly-dancing via ballet and jazz. Easy to read, well-sourced and perfect for the tutu-fanatic in your life. Craine and Mackrell are experts in their fields.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good dictionary, 14 April 2009
By A. Adum Boisard (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dictionary for adults (a children's version would be appreciated).It details the main figures of dance throughout history as well as some classic or contemporary ballet "stories". Some dance terms are defined too.
