4.0 out of 5 stars
Good follow-up to "The Physics of Dance",
By Dr. Lee D. Carlson (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Physics, Dance, and the Pas de Deux (Paperback)
The author does a fine job of adding to his earlier book "The Physics of Dance" in this book. It is very uncommon to find a physicist interested in dance, but the author definitely will keep the attention of a professional physicist. The book is more qualitative in nature than the first one, but physicists interested in kinesiology will gain something by reading this book. As in all of physics, one can disagree on the analysis of the movements, but the book does give a good overview of the difficutlies that arise when dancers attempt to perform the pas da deux. Dancers also could gain something by reading this book, as it will make them more aware of how exactly they should place their bodies to make movements in the pas da deux more effective. A fine addition to the technical literature on dance, and hopefully the author will find the time to write a third one on the more quantitative/mathematical issues that arise in analyzing the physics of dance.
