Dances of Sweden
The lakes and pine forests of Sweden are a natural setting for peasant arts and crafts, and these, particularly the Swedish folk dances, are justly famous wherever such things are loved and appreciated. There is something for everyone in these dances: in Gubbdunder, the Old Men's Dance, the younger folk have to leave the floor to their elders, but they come into their own again with a remarkable display of athletic virtuosity in Huppleken, the Jumping Game.The author of this book, Dr. Erik Salven, has played no small part in the revival of Swedish folk dancing. As Director of the Halland Museum, Halmstad, and a member of the International Folk Music Council, he writes with authority on the traditional Swedish dances and folk songs. His introductory essay on the various dances, music and costumes can be read with interest even by those who cannot tell a Hambo from a Minuet. Selected dances are more fully described, with step notation, music and diagrams, and the correct costume for each one is shown in all its gay colours.
Dances of Hungary
From medieval times, despite the frowns of the Church, the Hungarian peasant has been an irrepressible, natural dancer. Country weddings, pig-killings, funerals, recruiting drives, all had their traditional dances, and there was even a special dance for levelling the earthen floor of a newly built barn. Today, as this book tells, the Hungarian love of dancing is still as strong as ever.Dr. George Buday, until recently Director of the Hungarian Cultural Institute in London, has a wide reputation as an artist and as a student of Eastern Europe's folk lore and customs. His introductory essay conveys vividly his love of the traditional music and dances of his native land. He has himself illustrated his book with four plates in full colour showing typical peasant costumes; and simple step notations, side by side with the music, explain in detail four selected dances. Basic steps for the popular Csardas are also given.

Social Justice in Dance/Movement Therapy
This book demonstrates the use of dance/movement therapy to directly counteract social injustices and promote healing in international settings. It also demonstrates the potential for dance/movement therapy in prevention and wellness in clinical and community settings. The use of improvisational and creative dance is presented throughout the book as a tremendously clear, strong and powerful inroad to healing in every setting. The chapters in this book do not directly address social justice in dance/movement therapy, but rather provide provoking social justice related positions. This call for a provoking re-examination of the definition of dance/movement therapy is fitting as we--as a community--challenge our identity as dance/movement therapists, educators, supervisors and as human beings who have internalized oppression in various forms through our many identifiers and the unique intersections of those identifiers. The editors and authors posit that social justice cannot be fully addressed by focusing solely on the social issues. Rather, we must be aware of where and how the social issues come into the individual(s), the setting, and the therapy process itself.Chapter "'Breaking Free': One Adolescent Woman's Recovery from Dating Violence Through Creative Dance" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license via link.springer.com.

Master of the Russian Ballet - The Memoirs of Enrico Cecchetti
Anna Pavlova in Art & Life
I have had the temerity to undertake a book about Anna Pavlova for two reasons. The first is that in the whole course of her theatrical life I was her closest associate. As her husband I had her unbounded confidence, managed all her affairs - theatrical and private - carried on all her correspondence, received those who came to see her (Pavlova herself could only very rarely receive anyone), was present at and assisted her in all her interviews for the press -and she was obliged to grant interviews to press representatives all over the world - spent with her her hours of leisure, made the necessary plans for new tours and discussed with her details of our vast and complicated enterprise. I stood nearer to her than anybody, and I knew and understood her thoughts and aspirations, her disappointments and chagrins better than anyone else.In addition to my personal nearness to Pavlova, I met the thousands of people in all the corners of the earth who came to voice their enthusiasm and love. Through talking with them and receiving letters from them, during Pavlova's life as well as after her death, I am in a position to judge better than any other to what a remarkable degree she shone forth a beacon of beauty and love. All human testimony from whatever sources only goes to confirm my judgment of her exceptional personality.The second and chief reason for the appearance of this book is the wish of Anna Pavlova herself. Many and many a time in the course of her life she told me that I ought to write a book about her, as nobody knew her so well as I did. This was of course impossible while she was alive, but now it is my duty. I shall be happy beyond measure if I succeed in this book in giving an image of Pavlova full of that spiritual beauty, for which as a woman and as an artist she was so beloved. And I do not think this will be difficult, for in order to render unto her that which is justly hers, one has only to speak the truth. VICTOR DANDR?
