Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Dance Composition: A Practical Guide to Creative Success in Dance Making (Paperback)

This book is great! From the first page down it helps you out in easy to follow guides. As you read it you are already getting different ideas for your choreography. It gives you graphics, pictures, info from the simplest thing to the most complex(music, solo, group, idea, etc). Must read for any choreographer out there!
