Jazz Dance: A History of the Roots and Branches

Love this book - very informative and accurate information on everything jazz dance. I appreciate the layout of the book. It makes for a very easy read. It's a great book to learn the overall history of jazz dance but also to use as a reference or teaching aid. One of my favorite things about the book is how it describes all the different types of jazz dance. It's very thorough and most importantly, current and up to date with the trend that jazz dance has taken. Highly recommend. I haven't been able to find a book that compares to this one.

This book is full of valuable information that will help dancers and dance educators understand Jazz dance in a more holistic sense. I learned more about the richness of Jazz from this book than all my years in technique class in studio and university.

A GREAT book for dance folks with lots of detailed information regarding the establishment of jazz dance and jazz culture in America. I use this for my Dance History course I teach and also provide selected readings for other Jazz specific courses as well.

Content is good as is the price
