Episode 63: Dance Anatomy 101

In the podcast episode, I discuss the importance of knowing and understanding anatomy, as both a dance teacher and a dancer. I discuss the 3 most common organ systems discussed in dance - The Skeletal System, The Muscular System and The Nervous System and why they are important. You will learn the primary functions of each of these 3 systems, as well as their major components.
