Where was the text written/produced?

1994

 Who is the intended audience for the text?

I find this question hard to answer, who am I to determine who this book is targeted at? The obvious answer would be somebody who is looking at dance in education however, if I look further into this it explores many avenues and as the author is so renowned many people from many different backgrounds may have read this book to enhance their understanding on dance and how it is validated in the education system.

 What are the authors’/publishers’ intentions in relation to the reader?

Well the author is a world renown dance educator.  I believe both her and the publishers intention was to use the multimedia resources to express the points in the book on a wider scale.

What is the writers’/publishers’ own position in relation to the subject being written about?

The book covers dance education from primary years all the way through to tertiary education.  The book takes dance as a concept and shows how the expressive nature of it is educational to an array of students.
