Coach's Manual: Choreography and Style for Skaters

  This book is the result of the many requests I have received from coaches for written material.
 
  The book begins with a philosophical approach to choreography, and proceeds to inform the reader of the necessary ingredients to create a truly artistic program. It will aid the coach in creating programs that will help the skater to earn higher marks in competition.

Objectives of the book:

1. Educate coaches in the basic rudiments and concepts of choreography.
2. Instruct how to develop composition and style in skaters' programs.
3. Inspire coaches to use the tools and exercises provided in the book.
4. Help coaches to develop a personal style for their skaters.
