Aerial Dance

I loved seeing the DVD! That was the jewel of this book. The book is a good perspective on the niche category of Aerial Dance. It does a good job of explaining the difference between Aerial Dance and other forms of Aerial performance. I felt like I had a good handle on the art after reading this and watching the accompanying DVD. It is inspirational, informative and helpful- It has a nice list at the back of places to learn Aerial Dance and to buy equipment. Some of the listings were obsolete, I found.I was really searching for a book that had more practical stuff like how to execute certain moves and this is not the book for that. However, for anyone who is curious about this art form this is a great read.

A truly interesting look at some of the early history of Aerial dance in its various forms. Most of the dance groups and choreographers highlighted are from the 70's-80's. This is truly a history of the earlier forms of aerial dance. Considering how far the popularity of aerial performing has come with the mass performances of groups like Cirque Du Solei, this book might seem a bit "outdated" if you were looking for information on the art form as it is today.

I found this to be a useful intro to aerial dance, but was hoping for more from the DVD and book. This reads a more as a historical review than I had hoped for. It does have a few useful videos in the DVD that help illustrate how people have implemented aerial dance over the years, which was what I sought after. However, these videos are only moderately useful to me (as a newcomer) in understanding the range of possibilities aerial dance has.

Very technical introduction to aerial dance; but deeply informative.

I was hoping for more technique instruction but I didn't fully read the description. Hopefully the author will release a dvd on techniques

Didn’t come with the disc!

Good introduction to aerial dance. Like the historical references.

Good book pretty informative

Even though it was expensive. It was fantastic to have the book alongside a dvd with lots of old footage of aerial dance.
