Book Reviews of Conditioning for Dance
Book Review: TO whomever you were -
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always loved dancing, though not professionally as a prefer club-style. While I haven't attempted other forms of dance, hip hop has always provided an extreme work-out and took an exceptional amount of energy.
I followed Blake McGrath and Benji Schwimmer closely during the "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox TV (call me corny but we all have hopes and dreams).
More recently I went to California after seeing the dance company Coastal Dance Rage was now co-owned by Blake McGrath and Josh & Shannon Mather - After leaving the studio after the first time I was completely exhausted. As I was leaving on my third day someone leaving the studio handed me this book and wow - incredible, I've never felt better and more aware of my actions. My flexibility as improved greatly, which was a key failure point previously that I could not get beyond.
Unfortunately I never saw the the person that handed me the book again - so to whomever you were - Thank you!
Book Review: excellent practise

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).Book Review: Great book for dancers!
