With this coloring book and interactive guide to the human body, dance students and teachers will have fun learning anatomy while coloring dozens of detailed illustrations of the body in key dance positions. In the tradition of the best-selling Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book , The Dance Anatomy Coloring Book seeks to demystify anatomy for dancers, dance students, and teachers. Author Tricia Zweier, an associate professor of dance and dance science, provides an entertaining and informative journey through the human body, focusing on the bones, joints, and muscles that are employed in dance. After an overview of helpful terms and the systems of the body, Tricia covers the skeletal system, joints, and connective tissue, followed by the muscular system. Each anatomical feature is illustrated with a beautiful black-and-white drawing of a dance position to color. The book includes positions from a variety of dance styles, including ballet, modern dance, hip hop, and jazz. Coloring the bones and muscles of the body, as well as the names for them, helps to solidify learning and aids in remembering their location and function. Fun facts about anatomy and tips for dancers are sprinkled throughout the book. Thirty-two perforated flash cards enable readers to quiz themselves and study dance anatomy on the go. Review: Great anatomy book for dancers all ages - Got this book as a gift for our college age dancer & she LOVES it! She wishes she had the book ages ago. She finds it helpful to understand her body & what is doing what. Recommend it for all ages of dancers. Review: Fantastic Resource for dance educators - I work as a dance educator and my daughter does as well. I got this for us to use in our technique classes to further help our dancers comprehend all their anatomy and how it helps them acheive what is being asked of their bodies. This also helps further engage our dancers and gives their further confidence in comprehending their bodies. As a result we can have more meaningful dialogue, corrections and appilcations of varios movements and holds. When we speak about specific muscles that are being flexed or contracted, the dancers are more dialed in because they know exactly what we are referring to. I highly recommend this resource to all dance educators and as a great gift for a serious dancer.

Un libro che consiglio, molto interessante per gli allievi ma anche i loro maestri per far comprendere in modo più chiaro quali muscoli lavorano in determinati movimenti di danza.
