APRIL 2012 Dance K-12 Higher Education Resources Contact Us   In the Spotlight:     Postural Assessment reviewed by Backstage, recommended for dancers. One important aspect of dance that many forget is postural alignment. “Posture is important to all performers,” but reviewer Lisa Jo Sagolla says, “Postural alignment is also central to the proper execution of many technical dance movements. “While Postural Assessment is primarily designed for practitioners of physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, and sports medicine,” Lisa recommends the book for “dance, acting, singing, yoga, and fitness instructors” as well and says they “will find it especially relevant to the work they do.” To read more about Backstage’s review of Postural Assessment, click here.
