Teaching Dance Studies

Introducing the fundamental issues in dance pedagogy, this collection equips the reader with a thorough grounding in all areas of dance education, such as: * improvisation/choreography * movement analysis * theory * music for dance * kinesiology/injury prevention * history * criticism. "Teaching Dance Studies" features contributions from eminent figures, including Bill Evans, a specialist in Laban/Bartenieff studies, Ilene Fox, head of the Dance Notation Bureau and Susan Foster, one of the leading dance theoreticians in the country. Filling a distinct gap in dance literature, this book will appeal to dance history, theory, and pedagogy students, their teachers and professionals in the field.
