About this ebook
The Science of Movement explores the science of physics, specifically biomechanics, underlying dance. It bridges the gap between artistic expression and scientific understanding, revealing how physics, muscle control, and kinesiology influence every dance movement. One intriguing aspect is how dancers manipulate their center of gravity to achieve balance and control angular momentum during complex spins.
The book also investigates how dancers generate powerful forces for jumps, linking human anatomy and athletic training to dance technique. This book uniquely combines rigorous science with practical dance insights, covering concepts applicable across dance styles. It progresses from anatomical foundations and the physics of dance to analyzing specific techniques like jumps and turns, connecting scientific principles to injury prevention and performance optimization.
By incorporating research, motion capture technology, and expert interviews, The Science of Movement provides a quantifiable understanding of dance.
