This book is an excellent resource for the reader who is interested in dance and choreography.  The coverage of topics is shallow but broad, giving a good overview of the field.  The history of dance, popular dances in a variety of cultures and famous choreographers are briefly described.  The choreography process as well as experiential and educational requirements for a Choreographer are outlined.  Resources to learn more as well as an index and glossary are in the back.  The layout of the text and the illustrations engage the reader and compliment the content.
