About this audiobook
Long before writing, humans danced to worship, to court, to celebrate and to mourn. This book traces the story of dance from ritual and folk traditions to the royal courts that gave birth to ballet. It moves on to the rebellious freedom of modern dance, the social dances that swept through ballrooms and dance halls, and the street styles that became a global culture. It explores how movement has expressed identity, belief and community across the centuries and around the world. A Brief History of Dance celebrates one of humanity's oldest and most joyful art forms.
