Divided into two parts, part I presents the theory behind the conceptual approach to teaching dance.

Also covered is the BrainDance, a beneficial exercise that focuses the brain for learning and warms up all parts of the body for dancing. Part II introduces 15 dance concepts (place, level, size, direction, pathway, focus, speed, rhythm, energy, weight, flow, body parts, body shapes, relationship, and balance) and describes hundreds of ways to explore this dance vocabulary using a sequential and progressive five-part lesson plan format.
