Irene Dowd focuses on anatomy and imagery to discuss the human body with an underlying focus on dance. While there's no question that she's knowledgeable of the human body, her imagery and thought processes do give the average reader cause to question her sanity. Most of my classmates are sure that she was high when she wrote half of the stuff. That may be the case, but lots of it makes a very strange kind of sense to me.

Most of my classmates are sure that she was high when she wrote half of the stuff. That may be the case, but lots of it makes a very strange kind of sense to me. It may be insane and bizarre, but the idea of fire bursting from my core and spreading light throughout my extremities does make a difference in my dancing. So while this book may not actually help every dancer, I would consider it a very useful and oneof-a-kind experience that probably shouldn't be passed by.
