Dancers and observers of dance are increasingly craving an understanding of how the body moves the way it does. Seldom has there been an author like Ken Laws with both the physics background and the dance training to be able to apply both perspectives to the subject. The book gives examples of movements which apply physics principles to improve technical skill and artistry. In this second edition of a classic text, new "what you see" and "what you do" sections describe point-by-point what dancers should do and feel when performing the observed movements correctly.
