With this coloring book and interactive guide to the human body, dance
students and teachers will have fun learning anatomy while coloring
dozens of detailed illustrations of the body in key dance positions.
In the tradition of the best-selling Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book, The
Dance Anatomy Coloring Book seeks to demystify anatomy for dancers,
dance students, and teachers. Author Tricia Zweier, an associate
professor of dance and dance science, provides an entertaining and
informative journey through the human body, focusing on the bones,
joints, and muscles that are employed in dance. After an overview of
helpful terms and the systems of the body, Tricia covers the skeletal
system, joints, and connective tissue, followed by the muscular system.
Each anatomical feature is illustrated with a beautiful black-and-white
drawing of a dance position to color. The book includes positions from a
variety of dance styles, including ballet, modern dance, hip hop, and
jazz. Coloring the bones and muscles of the body, as well as the names
for them, helps to solidify learning and aids in remembering their
location and function. Fun facts about anatomy and tips for dancers are
sprinkled throughout the book. Thirty-two perforated flash cards enable
readers to quiz themselves and study dance anatomy on the go.
