The book offers a veritable panorama of folk and classical dances of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Java, Bali, Thailand, Tibet, Korea, Philippines, China, and Okinawa (Japan). Much field study has gone in to the making of this survey which is profoundly lavish in the background detail and treatment of numerous important dances, classical and folk. The celebrated Indian system of hand mudras, expressions, gestures and poses formalized by Bharata Muni in his famous Natya Sastra, later finding a way to other areas of the East is dealt with and compared with similar formalized practices elsewhere in Asia with remarkable clarity and precision..
