Anatomy: bone structure, musculature, and function. How each part of the body moves and how it responds under pressure
Pitfalls: Common examples of bad practice and the effect that these can have on the body
Self Analysis: How to become aware of and muscle groups and the capacity of each joint.
Injury Prevention: Tips and advice on how to best avoid and prevent injury both in training and everyday life

Checklists: Dos and Don’ts for the best dance technique.

The best dancers know that looking after their bodies is the key to their success, and Dance Medicine in Practice also covers how to ensure the best possible nutrition, plan and manage training schedules, and ensure that injuries are kept to a minimum both in frequency and impact. It is the best possible companion to a life in dance. [editor summary]
