N2  - Contiene: The highly-civilized Maya  and Aztec cultures poseesssed an ecnormous pantheon of gods all demanding ceremonial music, dances and offerings. Their ritual was the product of an agrarian culture naturally focused on the indispensable bodies of water and rain. Careful study of the preserved codices, chronicles, ceramics and paintings has made possible the identification of their specific ceremonial dance styles. Dances of Anahuac describes the dances and relates them to the beliefs, social structures and daily life of the people. Beautifully and movingly written, lavishly iluustrated, it illuminates the religious, economic, therapeutic and recreational purposes f the dance and its place in the ritual of recortesian societies
