Recommended Books for Dancers

Want to lift your legs higher in attitude? Want more dynamic twists? Trying to stabilize the pelvis but don't know where to start? What makes Dance Anatomy by Jacqui Greene Haas fantastic is not the “200 full-color” detailed pictures and insight to musculoskeletal system. It’s the fact that this book contains the exact exercises dancers should include in their training regimen. Detailed and precise, each exercise outlines its usefulness in a dance move or transitional step. Moreover, if these exercises are already in your warm-up, you can read how to do and perceive them more deftly. I truly love the images alongside the in-depth instructions. The pairings are useful for every style of learner. You can both visualize and read how the movements should be done. By the time you finish the book, you will have gained a lot of knowledge on functional movement and move more easily because of it. Dance Anatomy is a marvelous asset in terms of illustrating how dancers should move and why it is important to hold that knowledge inside of us as we do. Every muscle can be targeted as you train, because you are given the tools with Jacqui Greene Haas’ book.
