Dance composition is an important part of dance education because it is the discipline that translates ideas into dances. Revised, redesigned and expanded, and now with a new DVD, this seminal book explores essential guidelines and thus contributes to a greater understanding of dance composition as a discipline.

This text offers a theoretical and practical framework for the teaching of dance in education. The author examines the processes of composing, performing and appreciating dances, and analyzes how dance education can contribute towards artistic, aesthetic and cultural education.
