Physics and the Art of Dance

This revised and updated text combines the best features of Law's 'The Physics of Dance' and 'Physics, Dance, and the Pas de Deux' by Laws and Cynthia Harvey. It combines his knowledge of both physics and dance to describe how the laws of gravity, momentum, and energy affect dancing bodies.

This work applies the basic principles of physics to the art of dance, and should open a new level of appreciation for lovers of the form. It explains how dancers can achieve better, safer performances through the understanding of physics in motion. Using simple, non-technical terms, the author combines his knowledge of both physics and dance to describe how the laws of gravity, momentum, and energy affect dancing bodies.
