The book's approach is multifaceted, drawing on scientific research, historical documents, and firsthand accounts. It begins by establishing a foundation with definitions and key concepts, then explores specific dance styles and case studies, such as hyper-extended backbends. The book analyzes examples of movements that have been either banned, heavily restricted, or debated for their potential harm or cultural insensitivity.
Finally, it synthesizes these observations to offer guidelines for responsible dance practice, choreography, and performance, providing practical advice for injury prevention, ethical collaboration, and culturally informed artistic expression.
