An excellent instructional book for anyone entering dance competitions and having to design their own freestyle routines, or add a little extra to catch the judges' or audience's eye.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you teach dance, especially world dance, or you study it then this book might give you a way into reading what you do with your body or how you teach to move in your classes. A good book, there are others out there, but you can't do any wrong in getting this one - there are diagrams and images which makes for a revelant read for kinesthetic leaners ie dancers!

This book can greatly help for dancers!
15 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
As a dancer and a beginner I was struggling with jazz technique for a long time. The imagery approach has helped me greatly to improve my plies and turns, posture and interaction with space. The essence of the imagery approach is to identify yourself with an image. As an example the one that inspired me was "a growing root". I keep coming to this book again and again, when I need to recupirate and find inspiration. It also developed my imagery and gave me another prospective on relationships, energy and dancing. The book has helpful illustrations and photos. A must!

Exactly What Dancers Crave!
21 April 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
To make our bodies do all of the incredible things that we ask of them we use images, and since our bodies are always changing and feeling different sensations, we often need to find new images to keep pushing our performance further and further. This book is a collection of hundreds of interesting suggestions for images that all dancers should find useful. Some you may already be familiar with and some will be new to you. In dance class, images are constantly being taught to dancers, so this is also an excellent resource for teachers as well as students and seasoned professionals. Maybe you will find just the right image for that tricky pirouette or jump here! This book is recommended for dancers of all levels, from beginner to professional.
