Synopsis:
An introduction to the science of movement - the study of muscles and bones, how they work and how it applies to dance. Designed specifically for dancers, the book attempts to present a science of movement which takes into account the dancer's subjective and aesthetic concerns. In addition to coverage of the skeletal and muscular systems, this text provides detailed analysis of individual differences and body types, applying the principles of conditioning to dance. Sally H.Fitt has written articles which have appeared in "CAPHER Journal", "AAHPERD Research Symposium" and "Dance Research Journal".
