This work applies the basic principles of physics to the art of dance, and should open a new level of appreciation for lovers of the form. It explains how dancers can achieve better, safer performances through the understanding of physics in motion. Using simple, non-technical terms, the author combines his knowledge of both physics and dance to describe how the laws of gravity, momentum, and energy affect dancing bodies
