Susanne Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Has anyone read the book "Physics and the Art of Dance: Understanding Movement " by Kenneth Laws? What did you think? I just found it at amazon.com and was wondering if anyone could recommend it? Thanks! Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 It's a good book, and a surprisingly easy read, even if you've been away from physics for years. Even I can do the math! Link to comment
Hans Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 It isn't always accurate in terms of technique, but it's interesting to read. It has many "fun facts" & tells you some things like why tall dancers can usually jump higher but short dancers usually move faster. Link to comment
Doris R Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Haven't seen it. Would it be something that my husband the physics teacher might be able to use with his students? Let me know what you think and maybe I'll get it for him. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Well, he might find something in it to use, but it would be better if his students spoke ballet fluently. Link to comment
