'Anyone seriously intent on understanding dance will find this book, like its predecessor, indispensable.'- Trevor Whittock (Dance Research) 'A masterly foray by a contemporary master.'- Graham McFee (British Journal of Aesthetics) 'Sparshott takes what we already know about dance and attempts to uncover underlying logical systems. His conclusions may seem remote from the art of dance itself but demonstrate, for anyone who doubts it, that dance is a subject worthy of serious philosophy.'- Susan Free (Canadian Book Review Annual)
