"This is not a book! (...) Rather, think of it more like a gateway, a portal, a resource linking you to videos on Internet web sites that help you quickly jump around to all sorts of places and times. Don't read it straight through (unless you must!) Rather, have it near your iPed, iPhone or computer that is set on YouTube (www.youtube.com), flip to any page by chance, and type in the 'search' address. Then... follow the images and ideas wherever they take you."--Introduction, p. [xiii].

"Presented in a dance-specific way, 'Dance science' takes a positive approach to what a dancer can do to dance better through an understanding of anatomy and analysis of movement. With that understanding, you will be able to create an effective conditioning program, using a practical, integrative approach for enhanced performances and fewer injuries" -- P. [4] de la couv.
