Rezensionen

"The intended audience of the book is dance educators, but it is relevant to dance students, their parents, and those who treat and work with dance students in the medical profession. ... the book's user-friendly approaches to assessment of structure, form, and technique as they relate to injury prevention make it a useful resource for the dance educator in the dance classroom." (E. E. Lobel, Journal of Dance Education, Vol. 19 (1), 2019)
