" Karen Clippinger's first two editions of Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology were hailed as the standard in the field. This third edition builds on that success by retaining its scientific perspective while making the material even more accessible to students and teachers and by bringing in a significant amount of new material.

What's New?
In an effort to further enhance learning, Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology offers a wealth of new material and tools to make this edition the best yet:
Nearly 300 anatomical illustrations—now in full colorto clearly show muscle movements and technique considerations, setting the book apart from others in its field
Anew introductory chapterto cover basic terminology all in one place
Anew recurring Understanding Check element that helps students demonstrate their grasp of the material before moving on
Anupdated suite of online instructor and student ancillariesto support the text
New interactive art and table activities that aid with identifying bones and muscles and learning muscle actions, delivered online through HKPropel
More diverse dance stylesaddressed throughout the book and represented in photographs
The instructor guide features a sample syllabus and course outline, chapter outlines, lab assignments, and sample tests. An expanded presentation package provides more PowerPoint slides and additional graphics, now in color, that reinforce each chapter's key points. In this edition, the number of slides has increased from 285 to more than 600, and the presentation package now contains over 100 photos.

Through HKPropel, students have access to interactive Understanding Check activities, flash cards, practice quizzes with automatic feedback, and 19 video clips that demonstrate technique and offer correction guidance.

The final chapter is revised to provide a summary and applications, including more practical content in the form of summary figures or tables for bones, joints, muscle actions, and alignment evaluation, as well as sample mat exercises for dance conditioning. And throughout the book, Clippinger has updated content to simplify, add more practical material, and share best practices for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Primary Focus
The third edition of the book retains its emphasis on presenting the anatomical and kinesiological material that is essential for dancers to understand. The text includes descriptions of joint structure, key muscles, movement analysis, sample strength and flexibility exercises, common alignment problems, select joint mechanics, and special considerations for dance for each region of the body.

The third edition still features the Concept Demonstration and Dance Cues special elements. The former provides movement experiences for dancers to better understand potentially difficult concepts, while the latter helps the dancer reflect on the anatomical basis of commonly used cues used in teaching dance technique.

Empowers Instructors and Dancers
This new edition ofDance Anatomy and Kinesiology will give teachers a clearer picture of the anatomical and kinesiological factors that aid in generating technique cues and identifying technique problems, and it will help them become more effective and empower dancers to realize their potential and artistic vision."

"A contemporary of body-alignment practices such as Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais, Ideokinesis- from the greek ideo (idea) and kinesis (movement)- is unique in its reliance on mental imagery to change messages sent to the nervous system, thereby correcting poor muscle patterning and improving skeletal alignment, balance, and coordination. In essence, the idea is the facilitator of the movement (...)" P.[4] de la couv."

"The volume brings together cognitive scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists, choreographers, and ballet teachers, to discuss important issues regarding dance and cognition. First, scientists introduce ideas that offer different perspectives on human movement. Professionals from the world of dance then go on to report how their creative and pedagogical work relates to cognition and learning. Finally, researchers with personal links to the dance world demonstrate how neurocognitive methods are applied to studying different aspects related to dance"--P.[4] de la couv.

"Ce livre a été réalisé pour que l'anatomie ne soit plus un domaine réservé aux seuls spécialistes, mais intéresse le plus grand nombre, et en particulier celles et ceux qui pratiquent une technique corporelle.
Il présente d'une manière vivante, un panorama des os, des articulations, des muscles, en liaison directe avec le mouvement.
Il s'appuie essentiellement sur l'illustration 'en volume'. Celle-ci est commentée par un texte qui peut être abordé en deux temps: lecture rapide ou plus approfondie. (...)" -- P. [4] de la couv.

"Depuis quelques années, une attention croissante est portée au corps, à son fonctionnement, au mouvement.
L'anatomie n'est plus un domaine réservé aux seuls spécialistes, mais intéresse toute personne qui pratique une technique corporelle.
Ce livre présente de manière vivante une panorama des os, des articulations, des muscles, en liaison directe avec le mouvement.
Il s'appuie esentiellement sur l'illustration 'en volume'. Celle-ci est commentée par un texte qui peut être abordé en deux temps: lecture rapide ou plus approfondie.
Un livre de base qui permet d'acquérir facilement les connaissances en anatomie indispensables à toutes techniques corporelles." -- P. [4] de la couv.

"(...) is a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body.
In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author takes the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk.
The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercice and other physical disciplines." -- P. [4] de la couv.
