Applied Kinesiology Observation-(Dance Techniques)
TOPIC: Applied Kinesiology is the practical application of kinesiology to dance techniques. It
encompasses structural anatomy, laws of physics, planes and levels that affect movement as they apply
to dance. As students execute steps, combinations, and dances, the teacher watches for technically
correct execution and applied kinesiology principles. If the applied kinesiology is inaccurate, the teacher
gives the student instructions on proper form to avoid injury or strain. The teacher and the dancer must
know and understand the following summary of applied kinesiology principles.
