Dance is an art form that places great stress on the performer.s body. The main emphasis of the dancers training is on skill acquisition which has resulted in dancers having poor physical conditioning and prone to chronic injury. The purpose of this book was to examine contemporary dance from an applied sport science perspective through a series of connected studies. The initial study examined the dancers perceptions of the physical demands of contemporary dance; this was followed an observational study that investigated the cardiorespiratory demands of dance class, rehearsal and performance. The next two studies examined the heart rate oxygen consumption relationships during incremental treadmill work and dance exercise, and the development of a fieldbased aerobic fitness test. The final study, utilising the developed fitness test, monitored changes in aerobic fitness of two dance companies during a class and performance period that reflected on the observed results from the second study.

Chinese New Tang Dynasty Television New Year Spectacular offers a variety really tempting dance this year, with all dance groups and based on the new 5,000-year history that encompasses a wide range of different folk traditions Mongolia and Tibet to China's Yunnan region.
Yung Yung Tsuai acclaimed choreographer has been working with the spectacular since its inception in 2004. Ms. Tsuai came to America in 1970 to study modern dance, with a scholarship from Martha Graham. He stayed with the Graham Company and teaches at the School of Martha Graham modern dance today.
Ms. Tsuai said the Spectacular is a production of particular significance for many people, because "in recent 100 years, much of the rich traditional Chinese culture has been destroyed. People have lost their roots, "says Ms. Tsuai." Our performers performers wholeheartedly wish to transmit their culture and traditions to the audience to remember them, and themselves, that the Chinese are. "
Hundreds of dancers of all the United States and Canada tested almost daily for over a year. Yung Yung Tsuai is but one of the six dance teachers, all of whom graduated dance schools in China, resulting in a combined total of over one hundred years of training and experience. For teachers with many experts, Ms. Tsui said, "Collaboration is an important part of the project."
While choreographers use of themes and styles and much dancing actually combine the styles of the East and West, classical ballet techniques fused with the expressiveness of classical Chinese dance. All dancers train extensively in both. She said to help Tsuai ballet dancers to develop the skills necessary to perform the movements Chinese classics.
For Ms. Tsuai, which is unique on the billboard is not only of the dances themselves or dazzling costumes, is how will the audience dances. For the few minutes that each piece is presented on stage, she says viewers will feel they have entered a time and place ruled by chivalry, loyalty and honesty, a place where beauty and peace. "Not only are people displaying traditional Chinese culture, we are awakening the part of them that yearns for beauty and goodness, "said Ms. Tsuai.
This is what draws back each year, sometimes as a choreographer, sometimes as a dancing master. And, he says, this is what motivates hundreds of dancers who give their lives to the handful of days per year, when the Show comes to the stage.
"Art is the soul food," said Ms. Tsuai. "If you see art that promotes peace and harmony, which will bring home with you. That's what matters. In the past, lived as if in a heavenly realm. Everyday life was not necessarily religious, but very spiritual. When art presents beauty and positive side of human nature, can positively influence people in how they relate to others in their daily lives.
Ms. Tsuai trust the public is left NTDTV's Chinese New Year spectacular feeling, not only entertain but nourishes and rejuvenated by this veritable feast for the soul.
