About this title

From Library Journal:

The latest entry in "The Getting Your Act Together " series (after Writer's Resource and Photographer's Resource) is a practical handbook for students, would-be performers, and anyone who's just "gotta dance." Written by the executive director of the Limon Dance Company, it opens with a brief look at various kinds of dance, dance careers, and listings of dance-related membership and labor organizations. The heart of the book is its "gazetteer," a state-by-state directory of academic programs, internships, workshops, and more. Contact information and admission details are supplied along with several paragraphs on each organization or institution. The listings are interspersed with brief essays on key dance organizations (e.g., the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival) and current issues in dance (e.g., dance preservation). The double columns of the directory's text are punctuated by icons denoting the type of program (e.g., academic, studio school) and accented by black-and-white performance photographs. Some astute advice on financial considerations and a brief bibliography bring the work to a close. This attractive, compact presentation should be featured in most academic and public library collections.DCarolyn M. Mulac, Chicago P.L.
