Tap Dance for All (häftad, eng)

The first of its kind, this book focuses on the value of inclusivity in the tap dance studio, instructing on how to bring the rhythmic world of tap dance into the lives of individuals living with disabilities or mobility issues. No longer should those with mobility challenges be denied the opportunity to enjoy the unique delight, challenge and excitement of tap dancing.

Based on the author''s inclusive program called Tap for All, this book is part inspirational memoir and part instructional manual, detailing how tap dance''s enormous cognitive benefits can benefit those living with Alzheimer''s, dementia, cerebral palsy, arthritis, traumatic brain injuries and more.

The author outlines her experience opening the hearts and minds of other dance instructors and studio owners, showing that shifting their perspective about dance is beneficial to both client and studio. Chapters also instruct on the physiological effects of music and dance, guide the development of dance routines, and outline the author''s tap programs for various student skill levels and experiences.

Practicing ability inclusion can ensure that everyone, not just those fortunate enough to have a fully functioning physique, can learn and enjoy tap dance.
