Dance composition is an integral part of dance education as it is the discipline that turns ideas into dances. This book explores essential guidelines and contributes to a greater understanding of dance composition as a discipline. This edition includes additional chapters on improvisation and experimental procedures. The chapter on resource-based teaching has been expanded to include additional ways in which professionally choreographed dance works can inspire students' compositions. The book should be useful to all those interested in dance composition and teachers and students from secondary school education to university.
