Annotation: "To those of us who dance, Fraleigh's words reflect and extend our understanding of moving as a human body.... Her exploration of the philosophical aspects of dance serves as a reminder of how vital (and ornery) that terrain can be".Sarah B. Fowler, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism

Publisher Description:
In her remarkable book, Sondra Horton Fraleigh examines and describes dance through her consciousness of dance as an art, through the experience of dancing, and through the existential and phenomenological literature on the lived body. She describes, with performance photographs, specific imagery in dance masterworks by Doris Humphrey, Anna Sokolow, Viola Farber, Nina Weiner, and Garth Fagan.
