Dance composition, the discipline that translates ideas into dances, is an important part of dance education. This book, a bestseller for over twenty years, is a practical guide to creative success in dance making and is a popular textbook for all those who are interested in dance composition, from secondary school to university. This new edition has been revised, redesigned and expanded. It also includes a DVD with video taken from Choreographic Outcomes, a groundbreaking advanced technology resource pack aimed at comprehensively improving students' choreography.
References to the DVD examples are made throughout the book and there are new assigments based on the video material.
