Description

Newly updated and reissued in an appealing new format, this classic book is a lavishly illustrated celebration of female dancers of the Arab world and their impact on the West. "I think it is the most eloquent of female dances, with is haunting lyricism, its fire, its endlessly shifting kaleidoscope of sensual movement." With these words, Wendy Buonaventura explains her own fascination with Arabic dance and gives the reader a thorough understanding of the origins, history and development of this ancient art, which has survived in the face of commercialism, religious disapproval, and changing times.

Author Biography:

Wendy Buonaventura is a writer and dancer who pioneered the development of Arabic dance as a theater art in the West. She has toured widely throughout the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, teaching and performing in festivals. She is the author of Beauty and the East.
