Winner of:
Certificate of Merit, Association of Medical Illustrators

Rather than specializing in dance injuries, this book takes a positive approach showing what a dancer can do to bop better, which, in turn, will decrease injury rates. It presents human anatomy and motion in a functional, dance-specific way that teaches the readers to comprehend and take ownership in their bodies through a tour of the musculoskeletal system and movement analysis. The book is divided into three parts. Part one, Anatomy, describes the precise characteristics that impact motion at each and every individual joint, demonstrated by quite a lot of hands-on activities for readers to accomplish. Part two, Movement Analysis, discusses muscles that produce movement and introduces readers to a system of movement analysis. Part three, Conditioning, provides a practical, integrative method to exercise for enhanced performance. The written material is accompanied by anatomical line drawings commissioned for the book, photographs, and an assortment of experiential activities specifically designed for dancers.
