'I can't wait to get my hands on it. A quick look at the contents, which places Football Songs next to Free Jazz, give you some idea of its open-mindedness. It serves a much-needed purpose in informing us about many kinds of Australian music and dance missed by other reference books. Highly recommended.'
Lucky Oceans, ABC broadcaster.

'No reference book like this one, which covers aspects of dance from Indonesian traditions to choreography, classical ballet, rock-and-roll and belly dancing, has been published in Australia before. It's an extraordinary achievement. ' 
Garry Stewart, Choreographer
