Move Like A Champion – Kasia Kozak & Diane Jarmolow

Move Like A Champion is a practical movement training ebook created by Diane Jarmolow, Kasia Kozak, and Brandee Selck. Combining dance anatomy with experiential movement education, it helps dancers understand how the body functions and how efficient movement can be developed through awareness, alignment, and structured practice rather than repetition alone.

Instead of presenting anatomy as theory, the book guides readers through a progressive series of exercises designed to improve body awareness, posture, coordination, balance, and movement quality. Each chapter focuses on a specific area of the body, explaining its role in dance before introducing practical drills that can be applied during practice and performance.

Topics include the feet and ankles, knees and legs, pelvis and hip joints, spine, head and neck, rib cage, shoulder girdle, arms and hands, whole-body integration, and dynamic alignment while moving. Throughout the ebook, dancers learn how individual body parts work together to create more efficient movement, better partner connection, and greater control across Ballroom, Latin, Smooth, and Rhythm styles.

With more than 60 guided exercises, illustrations, anatomical explanations, and practical movement concepts, Move Like A Champion serves as both a training manual and a long-term reference for dancers, teachers, and coaches who want to build movement from a stronger anatomical foundation.
