Reviews

'A much-needed anthology that will prove invaluable to the dance practitioner who wishes to provide an inclusive environment for all.' - Ann Kipling Brown, Professor Emerita of the University of Regina, Canada 'This book can be summed as being about the work that art or dance does, as opposed to the work that art is. The efficacy and the power that dance has to change people's lives is perhaps the most noble of its functions in life. For educators, parents and practitioners, this is a priceless addition to your library and resource material. The book serves its purpose to enlighten and empower, as well as being a timely reminder of why dance has been an integral part of the community, and how everyone can participate in its joy and benefits.' - Joseph Gonzales, Professor at Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Hong Kong
