Reading this book is like dancing the "Vitalizing Dance Form" itself!!!
I fell in love with Contact Improv upon the first dance and for the first 3 months of practice was in awe and mystery of what it was all about ... and then having read this book was like the magic of the dance reveal itself to me with depth of meaning, life relating and subtle understandings only to further my love of this unique dance art form. Reading this book was in itself a dance to be experienced. I felt like I was in contact with Cheryl's words, ideas and subtle wisdoms! If you're at all curious about Contact, dance, movement, or just the magic of life ...this is a must read!!!

A good resource. A fine read.
Finally, a book that addresses the many facets of contact improvisation without simplifying the form. I recommend Pallant's book along with Sharing the Dance as two of the best resources available.
