Anatomy of the Moving Body is a complete course in bones, muscles, and joints designed specifically for dancers, movement educators, students, and somatic therapists. In this comprehensive second edition, Theodore Dimon simultaneously demystifies and brings to life the structure and mechanics of the human body. Featuring all-new illustrations that use a three-dimensional digital model of the human anatomical form, this book contains thirty-one chapters, each covering a distinct region of the body.

Topics include anatomical terminology; origins and attachments of muscles and their related actions; discussion of major functional systems such as the pelvis, ankle, shoulder girdle, and hand; and structures relating to breathing and vocalization.
