In her remarkable book, Sondra Horton Fraleigh examines and describes dance through her consciousness of dance as an art, through the experience of dancing, and through the existential and phenomenological literature on the lived body. She describes, with performance photographs, specific imagery in dance masterworks by Doris Humphrey, Anna Sokolow, Viola Farber, Nina Weiner, and Garth Fagan.

In Interdimensional Dancing, author Diane Stephenson recounts her direct experience and personal interaction with spiritual teachers from other vibratory levels of existence. Some of the teachers are living beings in physical bodies and some are not. Interdimensional Dancing depicts these communications during the dream state, meditations, participation in sacred ceremonies, and encounters in the fully conscious state. Sharing the truths revealed during these experiences is an exciting series of adventures!

Western contemporary dance and body-mind education have engaged in a pas de deux for more than four decades. The rich interchange of somatics and dance has altered both fields, but scholarship that substantiates these ideas through the findings of twentieth-century scientific advances has been missing. This book fills that gap and brings to light contemporary discoveries of neuroscience and somatic education as they relate to dance. Drawing from the burgeoning field of “embodiment”—itself an idea at the intersection of the sciences, humanities, arts, and technologies—Body and Mind in Motion highlights the relevance of somatic education within dance education, dance science, and body-mind studies.
