This review is from: Modern Dance Fundamentals (Paperback)

This book details the exercises and styling of modern dance using Laban notation. Laban notation is introduced in part 1 and is used throughout the book to detail the positioning and placement of the body in various exercises and movements. Stick figures are used to supplement the notation in the beginning chapters of the book, but are later omitted as the reader gains more experience in Laban notation. For those learning Laban notation, and for those interested in the more technical/mathematical aspects of modern dance, this book makes for sound reading. So much can be obtained from reading this book, and for so little cost in purchasing.
