Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

To compose a dance is to create a work of art, and a real understanding of dance as an art form begins with attention to the structure of a dance's movement, to the form of the choreography. In Dance Composition, renowned dance educator Jacqueline M. Smith-Autard provides an accessible and practical guide to creative success in dance making. Now in its fourth edition, this classic introduction to the art of choreography -- with a valuable emphasis on form and movement -- is useful for all those who are interested in dance composition.
