And he offers guidance in using imagery to convey information about a dancer’s steps and to clarify the intent and content of movement.

This expanded edition of Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance supplies imagery tools for enhancing or preparing for performance, and it introduces the importance of imagery in dancing and teaching dance. Franklin’s method of using imagery in dance is displayed throughout this lavishly illustrated book, and the research from scientific and dance literature that supports Franklin’s method is detailed.

This book is worth it's weight in GOLD. It is the answer to any dancers (or indeed non-dancer's) prayer. If you want to improve ANYTHING- it's in here. Arabesque, plie, turns, jumps, releve... and most importantly the science and anatomy is immediately applicable so that you get results fast. I've been using the Franklin Method and keys from Eric's books for years and I can honestly say they work and are the most ground-breaking, heart-expanding, delightful dancing experience. I wish I had always danced in this way. Thank you Eric! I love you!
I have long been interested in dance and began ballroom dancing later in life. Wanting to improve my technique, I discovered Franklin's book to be vey valuable as his approach combines mind and body and builds on previous work from sports imagery. When I take the time to do the exercises, I see immediate improvement as many of the exercises are applicable to all forms of dance.My only "complaint", there are so many exercises, I see myself using this book for years to come.
This book is for anyone interested in movement. The research review and exposition of effective visualization is exceptional: thorough, up-to-date, clearly written.
This is a book for everyone, not only dancers, yoga or Pilates teachers. It is a book to support you in embodying your original healthy design - body and mind. Terrific.
Is a very practical guide for dancers. Highly recommend it to fellow dancers who seek to improve their dance techniques.
