Jump into jazz: A primer for the beginning jazz dance student

First published in 1983, this book has become a standard activity book in jazz dance. It contains clear, well-illustrated descriptions of all basic jazz dance steps, combined with information on alignment, improvization, injuries, nutrition, and the history of jazz. A new chapter on fitness has been added to help dancers to understand and improve their strength, flexibility and endurance and precaution boxes have been added to help avoid injury.
