No one who loves dance will be able to put down this panoramic journey through some of the greatest dances of our time. Hard cover in very good condition. Text block clean and tight. Former owner's name is written on front fly leaf. Dust jacket in good condition with some rubbing at edges and a small closed tears at edgesr. Jacket has been price clipped.
