If youre tired of faking through your favorite rock songs because youve always neglected to learn that one special technique; you need this book.

As a dancer; it has helped me understand (and thus more easily remember) choreography. As a choreographer; it has made my dances significantly more interesting (or; at any rate; less *un*interesting). As a nascent teacher of dance; it has given me exercises useful for students across the spectrum of dance experience; and especially good ones to get terrified novices moving and working together. As a native to the language of ballet; it has even helped me start to grok (and; as such; to love) modern.It is no exaggeration to say that mdash;The Intimate Act of Choreographymdash; has changed the way I think about dance.If youre a dance student and youre going to read only one book about dance this year; make it this one (even if you dont think of yourself as a choreographer!). Ms. Blom will not steer you wrong.11/10 mdash; truly a must-read for serious dancers0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Engaging bookBy MatthewAlthough there may be some topics that may seem basic; I still learn more in depth about it. How to apply and why apply; I would say almost all this is covered inside and even goes more than teaching you the technical aspects of choreography but also finding yourself as a choreographer/artist. I enjoyed the exploration and improvising of the topics introduced in each chapter; this is one thing about the book one should look out for as it really helps in understanding further.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just started reading...By Vik CapellaI just broke into this book; and Im not disappointed; what other people have commented on is accurate. Its nicely written and will help you choreograph; I did buy this book with Twyla Tharps book "The Creative Habit" and others; but so far Id say this book is a winner.
