Dancing for health: conquering and preventing stress.
Author: Hanna, Judith Lynne Published: 2006 Anthropologist Judith Lynne Hanna here demonstrates the extraordinary role of dance as a healing art for all kinds of stress. Using examples from many different cultures and throughout history, she explains how dance is exercise plus aesthetic communication. While science shows the mind/body integration and benefits of exercise, Western and non-Western cultures have employed dance to come to terms with life crises, resolve conflict, revitalise the past, and face the future. |
