As a certified pilates instuctor with a focus in ballet injuries, I found this book a great resource in my attempts to explain the injury and method of training I use to assist in the healing process for dancers.
This book arrived promptly in protective covering and with adequate mail covering. The illustrations are lovely and so accurate and the writing is so helpful and easy to understand. We gave this book to our daughter, who after years of dancing in a dance studio is out on her own dancing in college without the studio's professional guidance about warm ups, injuries, etc. She suffered a broken bone in her foot last spring after her first year of dancing without some healthy guidance and the doctor told her to educate herself about the importance of taking care of her body as a dancer should. We feel confident this book will be able to help our daughter learn to take care of her dancer body on her own as she reads and learns. Thank you for writing this awesome book!
I guess I should have trusted the title: "A dancers's guide....". I'm a dance teacher and the book information is to general and basic. But I would recommend it to all dancers as a first aid. It's well organized and written in a clear language.
Great book for my ballerina daughter
