Description
Dance Anatomy by Jacqui Haas is a visual guide to the anatomy, conditioning and physical demands of dance. It explains how the muscles work during dance movements and includes more than 100 exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, alignment, placement and breathing.
The book features hundreds of detailed, full-colour anatomical illustrations that show the muscles involved in movements such as arabesques, leaps and turns. Step-by-step instructions explain how to perform the exercises, with guidance aimed at improving technique, developing physical strength and helping to prevent common dance injuries.
Suitable for dancers across a range of styles, including ballet, modern, jazz and contemporary, the book combines practical training exercises with an understanding of the body’s anatomy, making it useful for both dancers and dance teachers.
