Oriental dance has been around for thousands of years, but modern teaching has not. If you are a teacher, an enthusiast or just exploring the world of teaching this ancient art form, then this book is an invaluable tool to start that journey. Learn about brief history, basic moves and the safety issues surrounding group dancing, from warming up through to cooling down. Class formats, basic physiology and issues of teaching children, older adults and pregnant women are introduced to give a thorough introduction to this ancient art in our current society.
