1. An actor is able to express, with movement, snowflakes falling within the chill of winter and to an audience who will empathise despite the performance taking place in the middle of summer! I am reading Hahn's book in an attempt to appreciate more fully the "Gei" or art of traditional Japanese performance. Though not particularly succinct in her manner of writing, her book is proving to be informative: a valuable effort on her part.

1. Interesting commentaries help with understanding this text. Also it includes notes on the various versions of Shakespeare's play. Convenient size, too!

1. This book is no more than the title promises: a short introduction. If you want to read detailed analyses of the Greek theatre, this isn't the book for you, but if you want a book to get you started and teach you the basic vocabulary, this one is as good as any.

1 comments about Little Shop of Horrors.

1. One of Menken's timeless masterpieces, the songs of "The Little Shop of Horror" cover many aspects of music - from good ol' fashioned Rock'n'Roll in the theme song to some serious blues in "Feed me" and rather heavy chords in "Don't feed the plants" A must have for all Menken fans, it gives one the opportunity to view his early work, in this case, the 80's. Ony of my friends has a copy and in fact I've used it more than he has so now I'm looking for my own copy! Get this!

5 comments about Picture Yourself Dancing: Step-by-Step Instruction for Ballroom, Latin, Country, and More.

1. Read this book and you will feel like you are ready to dance with the stars! These instructors teach the dances in detail with pictures and they lead practice sessions for each dance on the DVD. Their professional approach makes it easy to learn a variety of steps. I like the video included with the book so much that I am now planning to buy some of the other dance DVD's produced by these instructors. It looks to me like this book and anything from the Trautman series of dance videos will be perfect for holiday gifts this year!



2. Picture Yourself Dancing is a perfect partner for the Learn to Dance Series of DVD lessons offered by Shawn and Joanna Trautman. These professionals provide a logical approach to learning all of the dance steps. In this book, they include a comprehensive history of each dance, as well as step-by-step instructions for the dances. The video included with the book shows you the way each dance should look and it helps you to develop your own individual dancing style. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning the total dance "picture". The vivid action photos and suggestions for dance attire inspire you to actually imagine yourself on the dance floor. Buy this book for anyone who loves to dance or who would like to learn, and include it as a companion to the Shawn Trautman Learn to Dance Series of DVD's!



3. The book was great but what I really want to know is the names of the couple shown on the front cover. Top row, third from the left. I swear I saw them at some dance competition. Do you know who they are? I gotta know!



4. Great literature on the history of dance. Great word discriptions on the steps but no foot pattern diagrams. The enclosed DVD is Couples Ultimate Dance Sampler which I already own. The DVD's are very good. All of the dances covered in the book are in one or the other of their several DVD's. If you have the DVD's you don't need the book



5. I have one of the DVD's made by Mr. Trautman and thought I would try the book.
   
   The book breaks down all the popular dances out there and makes them easy to do and follow. It has helpful hints on teaching the men how to drive and the women how to follow. It even has clues on what to wear when you go into any of the dance clubs.
   
   The book even comes with one of the great Trautman DVDs so it is a true bargin!
   
   Great book for the beginner and intermediate dancer.

1. ~ Wow, I finally got a moment to start your book, well once started I couldn't stop. Amazing read. So many wonderful and tragic moments. I am forever indebted to you for your gift of memory and the efforts to preserve and enliven the Hair experience. So many times I felt "We need this movement today, our country is going down the same road it was in the 60's." Sending you my love, and gratitude.
