REVIEW
This is a very intelligently presented and useful book aimed at the non-medically trained dancer who wants both a sound introduction to movement anatomy and strategies for improving the way they use and look after their body. The technical aspect of things is clearly explained without dumbing down and the writer is able to connect concepts to the dancer’s experience and concerns. The illustrations are well done, the suggested exercises are clearly explained, and the overall organisation of the book is very good. I own a number of books on dance anatomy; some are more technical and/or comprehensive than this one, some are even more pragmatic/practical, but it’s the Haas book that I return to most frequently.
