The revised and updated World of Dance set explores various genres of dance, including forms indigenous to particular regions and cultures as well as more popular, contemporary styles. In addition to providing an in-depth historical overview and cultural context for the development of various dances, each book offers technical insight into the dances' movements and background about the people who developed and popularized the moves.
