This book brings together a collection of writers from across the globe to reflect, comment on and share their expertise and experiences in dance education, exploring issues and best practices for teaching and learning. "...this book is more than a catalogue of examples. It is a book of analysis and reflection. Its intention is not simply to declare the power of dance but to fathom it. It is designed to deepen understanding of the many roles of dance in human life: in shaping cultural identity, in expressing our deepest feelings, in embodying relationships and in giving form to ideas than cannot be rendered so aptly in any other way. More than this, it interrogates the conditions that are needed, in education especially, for dance to fulfill these roles." - Sir Ken Robinson, Foreword "The contents of the various anthology contributions vary, but they show together on the importance of sharing experiences and ideas between researchers dance, dance teachers and dance practitioners around the world. This anthology is a step in the right direction and the process to reflect, evaluate, analyze and document dance education must continue." - Torun Mattsson, idrottsforum.org
