» Jo Murphy - How Does A Dancer Learn How To Dance?

Hi Again Paym,
Well It has taken me a while to get back to this question.
I am writing my Masters Paper now over the holidays and this topic came up in my research.
The book to read is
Blom, Lynne, Chaplin, Tarin, The Intimate Act of Choreography, University of Pittsburgh Press, USA, 1982. ISBN: 0-8229-5342-0
"One of the most useful and insightful books written about dance composition,"
and

Blom, Lynne, Chaplin, Tarin, The Movement of Movement: Dance Improvisation, University of Pittsburgh Press, USA, 1988. ISBN: 0-8229-5405-2
A sequel to their first book, this volume provides the pedagogic fundamentals for teaching creative dance or dance composition /choreography.

It might take me a short while but I will post a book review here soon,
Thanks for asking the question.
I hope you have had a great Christmas,
Jo
