À propos de l?auteur:

Jim Taylor, PhD, is a psychologist recognized for his work in the psychological aspects of performance in sport and the performing arts. He has implemented a psychological services program for the Miami City Ballet, lectured at the Hartford Ballet Company, and served as a consultant and member of the faculty at the DanceAspen Summer School. A former associate professor at Nova University in Ft. Lauderdale, Dr. Taylor has published more than 140 scholarly and popular articles, including a series of articles in Dance Teacher Now, and presented more than 150 workshops internationally. Jim is a former dancer and world-ranked Alpine ski racer and holds a second-degree black belt in karate.

Ceci Taylor's 40 years of experience as a professional dancer, professor of dance, and dance counselor have given her unique insight into the psychological demands of dance. With master's degrees in both dance and counseling, she has used her rich background to lecture and write about the psychological issues of dance, including coauthoring a column in Dance Teacher Now. A professor emeritus at St. Joseph College (Hartford, CT) and counselor to the Hartford Ballet, Ceci hopes this book will inspire other instructors to recognize the need to address the spirit as well as the body of the dancer.
