 Dance anatomy and kinesiology:
Author: Clippinger, Karen Published: 2007 Dance anatomy and kinesiology will help dancers learn anatomical and biomechanical principles as they apply to dance performance. The detailed text, running to more than 500 pages and including hundreds of photographs and drawings, focuses on optimal dance movement and the related principles for understanding the function of body joints. By applying these principles, dancers can help reduce the risk of injury and enhance their performance longevity. The book includes special practical applications: concept demonstrations provide hands-on exercises to try; tests and measurements are specific to selected regions of the body; dance cues help analyse cue effectiveness and promote optimal movement execution; study questions and applications help apply chapter concepts; and attachments provide the pronunciations, attachments, and key actions of the primary muscles covered in the text. |
