Read MoreWhat is biomechanics is a great introductory course broken down into readily available data that is fun and simple to learn. The facilitation is clear and concise giving the learner a theoretical knowledge foundation which can be implemented into dance class immediately. The given examples and learning outcomes are applicable and interesting I highly recommend this course.

I like the idea of learning online, I am a visual person, and the drawing it helps me to grasp the meaning of what he was talking. I would recommend it to my friends.
