Rhythmic Training for Dancers
“Robert Kaplan's new guide, Rhythmic Training for Dancers,is absolutely mind-blowing! He has lovingly assembled the most pertinent information for the dance and music communities in regard to the happy marriage of music and dance. Combined with the CD-ROM, An Interactive Guide to Music for Dancers,it is simply enthralling and exquisite in its clarity. The sources that Rob has called on in his 10 years of compilation reveal his lack of ego and his concern for the field at large. I recommendRhythmic Training for DancersandAn Interactive Guide to Music for Dancersto all of my colleagues and hope that students worldwide receive maximal benefit from this fabulous text."David DorfmanArtistic DirectorDavid Dorfman Dance"I highly recommend Robert Kaplan's book,Rhythmic Training for Dancers. Mr. Kaplan has tremendous knowledge in the area about which he chose to write."Robert BarnettArtistic director emeritusAtlanta Ballet“Professor Rob Kaplan has painstakingly organized an original learning experience that has no equal. He clearly deconstructs and demonstrates each solution, regardless of how complicated the task is. He makes counting surprisingly simple. Translating a tempo for a dancer to visualize is no small feat, but Kaplan invites and allows his students to successfully accomplish this repeatedly. I take my shoes off to Kaplan for providing a language and logic to the mysterious marriage between music and dance.”Douglas NielsenChoreographerAssociate Professor, California State University at Long Beach, Department of Dance
