I’m pleased to announce the publication by Human Kinetics of my latest book: Dance Psychology for Artistic and Performance Excellence (co-authored with Dr. Elena Estanol). This is a follow-up to my first-ever 1995 book, Psychology of Dance, which I wrote with my late mother, Ceci Taylor.

For those not familiar with my work in dance, I have consulted and given workshops with the Miami City Ballet, Hartford Ballet Company, and DanceAspen Summer School, and have written many articles on dance. Elena is a former professional dancer and choreographer who is now a psychologist who specializes in dance.

The book explores many aspects of the psychology of dance confidence, focus, and emotions, as well as stress, injury, and disordered eating. Human Kinetics also provides an extensive online resource with additional materials.
