She performs on behalf of this most evanescent of the arts an act of significant recovery. By tracking down--often in rare stage revivals, on film or on videotape--as many of the works by major creators of the last half century as survive, and by describing them . . . in a manner that combines accuracy and imagination, she has enriched our knowledge of the past and added immeasurably, to our resent stock of critical resources.\"--Dale Harris, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \"Siegel has a gut feeling for dance and a razor-sharp intelligence about it. It's an irresistible combination.\"--Margaret Pierpont, \u003ci\u003e Dance Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \"After you've seen and felt dance this deeply--even vicariously--your way of looking at dance will never be the same.\"--William Albright, \u003ci\u003eHouston Post \u003c\/i\u003e She sees, acutely, with her muscles as well as her eyes. She thinks about dance as much as she experiences it. . . . This is dance choreography reconstituted. Dances leap off the page. . . . The ability to do that is extraordinary.\"--Jean Bunke, \u003ci\u003eDes Moines Sunday Register\u003c\/i\u003e \"The sections in which she describes the dances themselves make up the bulk of the book and they are profoundly illuminating. . . . These descriptions represent an amazing literary, as well as critical, accomplishment, for they are both accurate and resonant, both objective and enlightening, both formal and personal.\"--Laura Shapiro, \u003ci\u003eThe Real Paper\u003c\/i\u003e \"Siegel draws on her years of experience as a working dance critic, a profession she has helped to shape, and brings to a range of American dance a sense of honesty and a mind that wants to understand the antecedents of what is currently in vogue as the dance explosion.\"--Iris M.
