Dance Theory in Practice for Teachers has two major sections. The first, The Dancer in Training, brings in practical tasks that cover safe studio practice, ideas for daily class warm-ups and cool-downs, simple anatomy and physiology, dance basics (co-ordination, alignment, flexibility, stamina), and photos or diagrams of the 'dancer in action'. The second, Dancers' Performance Skills, includes projection, emphasis, range, memory/accuracy, group awareness, focus, and involvement of the whole self. Strategies for rehearsal focus on the choreographer's intent, style and approaches.
