Training in somatic techniquesmdash;holistic body-centered movement that promotes awareness and well-beingmdash;provides an effective means of improving dance studentsrsquo; efficiency and ease of movement. However; dance educators do not always have the resources to incorporate this knowledge into their classes. This volume explains the importance of somatics; introduces fundamental somatic principles that are central to the dance technique class; and offers tips on incorporating these principles into a dance curriculum. The authors demystify somatic thinking by explaining the processes in terms of current scientific research. By presenting both a philosophical approach to teaching as well as practical instruction tools; this work provides a valuable guide to somatics for dance teachers of any style or level. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
