"(...) relies heavily on ethnographic material, including case studies based on Hanna's research, and on a basic framework of anthropological theory and nonverbal communication. The author's basic premise is that dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the instrument of the body. Her argument that dance is at once intentionnally organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations is a provocative view that is likely to provide a foundation for future research in the field."--P.
