Dancing Between the Ears: Technical Tips and Images for Dancers

by Debra Webb Rogers

A handbook for dance students, teachers and professionals, Dancing Between the Ears focuses on a powerful, but often under-utilized tool of instruction: imagery.It is a practical companion to the usual scholarly textbooks on technique ? filled with easy-to-understand ideas and images that dancers and teachers can actually use on a daily basis.Some examples include: ?A frappe should be like a snake striking?, ?A plie is a movement, not a position?, and ?To keep the hips squarely to the front, imagine your hipbones as headlights on a car, and make sure you keep them focused on the road.'The book is organized in a user-friendly format with such chapter headings as: Posture and Alignment, Traveling Steps, and Images Using Props. Spiral-bound to lie flat for easy use, and sized to fit easily in any dance bag, Dancing Between the Ears is a reference dancers and teachers will refer to often.
