"Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology, Second Edition, retains its scientific perspective while offering greater accessibility to a wider audience. The narrowed scope makes the content easier to cover in a single undergraduate course, and the text includes strength and flexibility exercises to improve body alignment and dance technique and to help prevent common injuries."--Page [4] of cover.
