 Fantastic! February 16, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am NOT a dancer. I am just an advanced beginner in Yoga.
I'm not sure how I found this book, but I'm more than glad I did. I have chronic lower back pain, and the excercises using balls are very therapeutic.
Franklin's use of imagery, his explanations and wonderful drawings of anatomy are simply fantastic.
I have found that just reading the book and not doing anything has helped my yoga and my posture. Of course, actually doing the exercises is even better!
I would be delighted if Franklin put out a DVD with this kind of material. I have bought many yoga and dance DVDs and the thing I do not like about almost every single one of them is not explaining in any way WHY a certain movement or posture may be beneficial. There's all just mindless work-outs.
Excellent for anyone December 1, 2006

As a pilates/belly dance teacher (and performer) I know the importance of using visualisation techniques to release tension, increase range of motion, and free the body. This book has greatly expanded my teaching repertoire and also my understanding of the core musculature, particularly the pelvis (the power center). Highly recommend this to anyone no matter what their occupation!
Try his other books as well. All excellent!
Excellent tool for any dancer! November 11, 2006
This book has been very helpful to me as I returned to ballet at 27 after a two year hiatus. I purchased the Franklin Method balls and found them very useful in implementing some of the exercises. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to increase their abilities and lenghten the life of their physical abilities.

Had extreme benefits from reading this book and ending up on a crash course of ballet shortly after, the teacher was using the same techniques and visualisation ideas, which I've found very good all in all. Even without the ballet. Helps to achieve relaxed shoulders and balance (of mind as well).
Great book for dancers! March 23, 2006

I bought this book for my 14 year old to learn the importance of conditioning for dance - she loves it! She has improved so much in her flexibility! Highly recommend for dancers!
