Abstract |
"Experiential anatomy in dance technique will help instructors develop class material that allows their students to improve their understanding of their bodies -- and their ability to make educated choices about their movements while becoming more dynamic and versatile dancers. This DVD explores eight body areas: shoulder joint; scapula; hip joint; knee joint; spine; rib cage; tibia and fibula; and ankle, tarsus, and toes. For each area, the DVD features an instructor who identifies skeletal and anatomical features using a model skeleton, leads students in locating the anatomical features on themselves or on a partner, demonstrates movement explorations focusing on that body area, and choreographs phrases that explore that particular body area."--Container. |
