Dance-Philosophy of the Body in Movement by Alexandre Lacroix is published by Allary Éditions, 244 pages €20.90. The author compares what he knows about the theory of movement to the practice of the two stars.

He asks: How can we define this ambiguous art which produces no object? “Dance is the set of voluntary movements which have their end in themselves and which unfold first in time”, he asks after having surveyed Aristotle and Paul Valéry.
