Freestyle Dance by Anna Jones is an official technical reference for Freestyle dancers, performers, and teachers, published for use within the International Dance Teachers’ Association (IDTA) system.
The book covers Freestyle technique from Student through Associate, Licentiate, and Fellowship levels. Alongside the practical dance material, it introduces the history of Freestyle, fundamental body movements, exercises, and basic principles of anatomy, physiology, and mechanics relevant to dancers. The material progresses from simpler work toward more advanced movement and includes routines suitable for different ability levels.
IDTA continues to identify Freestyle Dance as a technical resource for its professional Freestyle qualifications, making it particularly useful for dancers and teachers preparing for examinations as well as anyone studying the foundations and technique of Freestyle/Disco dance.
