This fun coloring book and interactive guide to the human body teaches anatomy through detailed illustrations of key dance positions—and comes with 32 flash cards!

 In the tradition of the best-selling Yoga Anatomy Coloring Book, The Dance Anatomy Coloring Book seeks to demystify anatomy for dancers, dance students, and teachers.


  • Helpfully organized, starting with an introduction to essential anatomical terms and overview of the systems of the body, followed by the skeletal system, joints, and connective tissue, and the muscular system with its structure and function.
  • Each anatomical feature is illustrated with a black-and-white drawing depicting a position from a variety of dance styles, including ballet, modern dance, hip hop, and jazz.
  • Coloring the bones and muscles of the body, as well as the names for them, helps to solidify learning and aids in remembering their location and function.
  • Contains 60 original illustrations to color, along with fun facts about anatomy, practice tips for dancers, and a detailed glossary.
  • Sewn layflat binding makes for an easier coloring and learning experience.
  • 32 press-out flash cards in the back of the book enable readers to quiz themselves and study dance anatomy on the go.
Author Tricia Zweier, an associate professor of dance and dance science, provides an entertaining and informative journey through the human body, focusing on the bones, joints, and muscles that are employed in dance.
