- Summary
- "Functional Awareness: Anatomy in Action for Dancers 2nd edition introduces the reader to the reflective practice of Functional Awareness®. Functional Awareness® (FA) is an approach to improving dance skills through practices in embodied anatomy. FA is a method with a defined pedagogical philosophy to advocate for the importance of developing body understanding in dance training while fostering student agency and honoring individual difference. The FA method is applicable and accessible to all dance forms. This book uses foundational information of anatomy and motor learning to guide the reader toward a deeper understanding of their personal body structure. The authors provide essentials in functional anatomy with movement explorations and over 60 beautiful illustrations to buoy the reader through the content. The second edition sources new research in motor learning and integrative anatomy to support and grow upon the content previously presented in the first edition"--
