Anatomy and Kinesiology for Dance: An Introduction helps readers develop a connection between dance and the anatomy and kinesiology of the human body. With a better understanding of the human physiology, dancers are able to lower their risk of injury. The information and principles presented should be able to be integrated into dance technique classes and rehearsals.
Anatomy and Kinesiology for Dance: An Introduction:
- includes basic terminology and skeletal anatomy.
- contains information regarding the joints, and their movement potential.
- introduces planes of action and concepts of basic movement analysis.
- presents basic muscle information, how muscles produce actions, and an analysis of the action of gravity with muscles used.
- analyzes dance movement with the knowledge of different muscles.
