This book gives access to the works of one of the great pioneers of modern dance. Ted Shawn's work has stood the test of time in providing a fundamental approach to dance for beginners.
Accompanying audio cassette composed and performed by Jess Meeker.
Regardless of the dance form a pupil may choose, there are certain skills which all dancers must acquire such as muscular strength, elasticity, coordination and the ability t move musically and rhythmically. Shawn's Fundamentals of Dance uses easily understood notated exercises as a means of learning these skills within the language of dance. Exercises defining a range of dynamic qualities are linked into a series of sequences which allow students to develop the relationship between exercise and choreographed movement. The exercises are supplimented by photographs and a unique cassette of music composed and recorded by Jess Meeker, Shawn's original accompanist.
