N2  - "This textbook and DVD package highlights selected portions of original dance compositions by two noted choreographers. The works of Alonzo King (Chanis and Dreamer) and Dwight Rhoden (Verge) are recorded and analyzed to sequence the choreographic process. Students are able to witness a progression that takes them from conceiving and refining an idea to improvising and solving movement problems to shaping and performing dances." "The methods featured in Dance Composition Basics can be applied to a variety of dance styles, including ballet, modern, and jazz. The 27 lessons featured in the book serve as starting points that encourage novice dancers to embark on their own attempts at choreography with more confidence."--Jacket
