How, for instance, do dancers create the illusion of defying gravity? Or of starting to spin when in the air with no source of force to act on their bodies? You may observe some dancers using their arms in a way that allows some to jump higher than others. What is that technique, and why does it work? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this second edition, author Ken Laws - a physicist with years of professional dance training - teams with veteran dance instructor Arleen Sugano to provide new step-by-step experiments for dancers. \"What you see\" sections describe the way physical principles form the framework within which some movements exist. The complementary \"What you do\" sections allow dancers to experience how those physical analyses can provide them a more efficient means of learning how to carry out those movements. Throughout, the book shows how movements are first artistic expressions, and secondly movements of the body within the framework of easy-to-understand physical principles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDancers and dance instructors will find in this book an efficient means of improving technical proficiency and growing professional and aesthetic development. For physics and science teachers, the book provides a new and compelling way to draw people into the world of science. And observers and fans of dance will marvel over the beautiful time-stop photography by renowned dance photographers Martha Swope and Gene Schiavone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKenneth Laws\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Physics, Dickinson College, and author of \u003cem\u003eThe Physics of Dance\u003c\/em\u003e (Schirmer, 1984), \u003cem\u003ePhysics, Dance, and the Pas de Deux\u003c\/em\u003e (Schirmer, 1994), and \u003cem\u003ePhysics and the Art of Dance: Understanding Movement\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2002) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArleen Sugano\u003c\/strong\u003e is Independent Dance Instructor, former instructor of Dance, New York University, University of North Texas, Joffrey Ballet School, Rod Rodgers Dance Company, and Lula Washington Dance Company, amongst many others.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 10.22 x 7.82 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 02, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239889989906,"sku":"9780195341010","price":133.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/WTRyWGlqYUxDT3hpVmlIYi9lNVUvdz09.webp?v=1777890168","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/physics-and-the-art-of-dance-understanding-movement-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
