The book features 63 movement exploration exercises that take you from dance making to preparing for a performance. More than 56 photographs highlight and clarify important concepts. This second edition also includes these helpful features that will guide you through the entire choreographic process:

It�s an excellent resource for teachers who are responsible for implementing these standards and dance enthusiasts who want to enrich their choreographic expertise.
