Stiff unmarked book in glossy illustrated boards; about new. ; 8.5 X 1 X 10.9 inches; 336 pages; Part I presents an overview of motor behavior, covering motor development from birth to early adulthood.

Part II explores motor control and how movement is planned, initiated, and executed. Readers will learn how the nervous system organizes the coordination of movement, the effects of anxiety and states of arousal on dance performance, how to integrate the senses into movement, and how speed and accuracy interact. Part III investigates methods of motor learning for dancers of all ages. Readers will explore how to implement a variety of instructional strategies, determine the best approaches for learning dance skills, and motivate and inspire dancers.
