Reviews

Original and groundbreaking.... This is a pivotal text to propel dance education beyond the status quo tenants of 'best practices.'... This text may well be the driver moving personal, value-based pedagogies beyond methods-based instruction. An exciting read and an honest journey in meaningful decision making. -Susan Kirchner, Towson University.
