Her book also follows the figure of the dancer beyond the formal classical dance arenas to give us a more comprehensive idea of who the dancer becomes for multiple audiences. This is not an easy book to read, but it is an intriguing one.\" -- Tapoja Chaudhuri * International Examiner *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote on Transliteration and Language  ix\u003cbr\u003e Prologue  xi\u003cbr\u003e Introduction  1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
