Nicely illustrated and useful

This book is an introduction to basic patterns and exercises in modern and jazz dance. It serves its purpose well, and the illustrations are effective in conveying to the reader the sequence of steps needed to do the exercises. The photographs also serve to inspire the beginning student of dance into what is possible in this art form. The author also gives the rthythmic timing in all the exercises, making it easier to pick music to accompany. Teachers will find it useful in lesson planning and as a reference.
