From the backcloth of the book:
"Dance is a vibrant and richly theatrical art form. Capturing its dynamism and sensuality has engaged photographers ever since the camera was invented. 'A Collectors Book of Australian Dance', selected and introduced by Michelle Potter, is a treasure-trove of enticing images of Australian dance from the National Library of Australia's Collection."
