BOOK LIST
Listed below are books written by and about dancers covered in this course.  These are good resources beyond our course text for both this course and for your future.  This is by no means a comprehensive list — however, it is a list that I know you will have access to since, if they are not in the Maybee Music and Dance Library (most are), I have copies of many on the bookshelf in my office.  See me if you cannot locate the book in the library if you need it. Note that these do not appear in full MLA citation format!
