Rhythmic Training for Dancers
Robert Kaplan
Rhythmic Training for Dancers and its companion CD-ROM, An Interactive Guide to Music for Dancers, help dancers develop a better understanding of musical time and phrasing, which directly correspond with their dance activities. These materials provide an interdisciplinary approach that bridges the perceptual barrier between dancers and musicians by explaining concepts from both perspectives. Students will * learn basic concepts of musical time as they apply to dance technique and choreography, * become aware of how they intuitively use musical time in their dancing, and * explore rhythmic theory from the musician’s perspective. The book follows a step-by-step approach, introducing only a few concepts at a time so that students will comprehend the material. Special exercises are grouped within six categories of study designed to reveal the musicality inherent in movement and the kinetics of rhythm: aural skills, rhythm activities, vocal training, notation, dance technique class and pedagogy, and choreography.
