Reviews
'This book is the "Bible" for dancers. First published in 1988 by Justin Howse and Shirley Hancock, it immediately took position as one of the most authoritative and leading books on dance injuries and prevention... It is the vital application of anatomical facts to the dancer (well presented in a logical fashion) that makes this book indispensible for every dance teacher... [The book] remains a distinguished authority on dance technique and injury prevention and even those with old editions would do well to invest in this latest edition. Outstanding.' Rachel Rist, Dancing Times
