Book Reviews of Conditioning for Dance
Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: The best dance conditioning book out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a pre-professional ballet student, I had been looking for exercises to improve my alignment and technique. When I found this book, I absolutely knew that this was the key. Franklin is the great pioneer with the idea that releasing tension enhances your technique and decreases injury potential. His conditioning exercises deal a lot with imagery, something that helps you so much that you have no idea until you try it. I highly recommend this book to all students and teachers of dance, particularly ballet. Franklin's exercises mostly deal with using therabands and rolling balls which is very effective.
I adore Eric Franklin; he is absolutely Review: Conditioning for Dance
Summary: 5 Stars I am inspired by Eric Franklin's style of imagery and toning for dance and life. I practice and study belly dance of all types (cabaret, fusiobm tribal, etc.) and felt a need for additional understanding of toning and timing of various stretches in the warm up and cool down. The author has thought, practiced, and taught his techniques to thousands of dancers and has extensive knowledge of successes. His practical wisdom makes tremendous sense to me in my experience with Feldenkrais, Functional Anatomy, and yoga. I highly recommend this book to 'humans with bodies', and in particular, those that enjoy moving with grace and ease. Happy living!
Book Review: For all who dance
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be a mandatory textbook for all dance students and trainees alike.An awesome tool for teachers who really want to focus on improving their students alignment without the normal bustle with a standard class. Mr. Franklin takes you on a journey that allows you to discover your body and know its limitations and how to get better. The information in this book is priceless. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a full-time career in dance. Your body will never be the same again.Book Review: love this book so much i have been carrying it w/ me EVERYWHERE!

look no further for the book you've been waiting for to boost your performances and training far past anywhere you conceived they could go. this is a remarkable book for both teacher and student alike. one part instruction manual, another part illustrated exercise guide, another anatomical textbook and lastly, a soul-stirring, beautifully descriptive visual image-producer, this book is what you have been longing for as a dancer. i am so glad i bought this- it was worth EVERY PENNY!
