The dance educator and trainer is the person in a dancer's life who lays the foundation for a healthy, long professional dance career or a fulfilling hobby for an amateur. This book highlights the tasks and responsibilities of dance educators and trainers, as well as the many aspects that underlie this demanding profession. These are made accessible through examples of movement analysis and training planning in both practice and theory, which illustrate the difference between amateur and professional training. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of specialized training in dance education, the realignment of dance pedagogy itself to meet the current demands placed on dancers of all styles, as well as the scientific consolidation of dance pedagogy and the recognition of the professional title of dance educator.
