Great Overview of Dance/Music History

This book is a great condensed overview of different eras and their styles of dancing and music. It also had some exercises for Jazz students including pictures, which is very helpful. I enjoyed the book.

Wanting to learn about Jazz? This is the book for you!

This book was very insightful. It gave a detailed history of where Jazz began and how it has developed to the present day. It also discussed proper nutrition a dancer should have, classroom etiquette, injury prevention and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn or teach jazz.
