'Contemporary Indian Dance is a well-researched volume, full of interesting ideas.' - Mumbai Mirror 'One of the most significant books to come out on Indian dance studies scholarship in recent years' - Dr Prarthana Purkayastha, Pulse: Asian Music and Dance 116: Spring 2012, 23.

To read Katrak's book is to come away with a sense of delight in how far dance writing has come in capturing layered and multiple activities, perceptions, and knowledge. - Uttara Asha Coorlawala, Columbia University, USA
