<br/><br/> "Designed with beginning modern dance students and their teachers in mind ... an examination of the art form's foundations. Beginning with an exploration of dance training in the period between classical ballet and the establishment of ... classic modern dance ... trace[s] the development of some of the classic techniques and styles that have profoundly shaped modern dance training and choreography. The book is divided into teaching units, with each chapter pairing compatible or contrasting training systems, and suggesting ways that students can prepare for an encounter with a particular technique"--P. xiv.
