Dance Appreciation: Exploring Dance History and Performance is a journey through the world of dance focusing on the history of many dance forms, the connection of dance to society, and the human meaning and importance of dance as a living breathing practice. Building on the foundational historic basics of "Who, What, Where, and When," Dance Appreciation dives deeper by asking "Why," allowing the reader to delve into the human reasons that various dance forms exist, followed by the "How," asking the reader to consider how each dance form can be interpreted/applied/deciphered by the reader's own individual experience and life understanding. More than a historical account of various dance forms, Dance Appreciation views dance as a building block of humanity and symbolic embodiment of the cultures and societies from which different dance forms spring. Dance is the voice of the soul connecting humans from the beginning of time to present day through heartbeat and sprit.
