"An elucidating work, not only about Gertrud Bodenwiesser, but also about Ausdruckstanz...The dance history side is covered comprehensively." -- Tanz Affiche"Fascinating...Worth reading...Any book that attempts to bring the work of important but perhaps neglected figures in the dance world to the attention of a wider community is to be commended...Some of the articles are interesting for the background information...Perfect material for the development of connections with other aspects of Bodenwieser's background and career." -- Dance Chronicle
