Format:Paperback
I recomend this book very highly I am returning to dance after a year out and this book has really helped me get back to my standard and surpass it. It uses a resistance technique with thera-bands and balls. It gives a great look at ways to use your mind as well as your body to train and the exercises are fantastic. It does every part of the body from improving your arches in the feet and extention of the leg to releasing the tension in your shoulders, without doing the same old boring exersices. A really good way to improve your performance from head to toe.

I can't dance a step, and so don't try, which is probably a good thing for those who might otherwise be offended by my ineptitude. I do, however, study karate and realised, after watching ballet on TV, that if I could apply ballet conditioning to my own daily workout regime, my karate was bound to improve. It has, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain greater freedom of movement and melt away the stress which builds up via our hectic 21st century lifestyle.
Everything is very clearly explained in the book, allowing you to choose the exercises which pertain to your own physical area of interest.
It has helped me immensely and I guarantee that it will help you too if you have the desire to keep working at it.
Eric can only show you the way. You must make the journey for yourself - good luck!

I bought this book out of curiosity as I recently enrolled in adult ballet classes and free-style dance classes.I have never danced before in my life. It is an excellent book packed full of information on the way specific muscles of the body work according to what type of dancing you are doing. It details exercises aimed at specific problems and you gain invaluable insight into where you are going wrong and how to correct it. It is easy to read and follow and although it is aimed at professional and trainee dancers i found it extremely helpful for dancing as a hobby and a way to keep fit as it aims at helping you get the most out of your exercises. Another plus is that it covers all dance forms so you don't need any other book.
