ABSTRACT We conducted an intervention based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with dance students to improve their performance and reduce their anxiety levels. Sixteen students from a dance conservatory participated in a quasi-experimental mixed research, test-posttest design without control group, consisting of five SFBT sessions. Their teachers evaluated their performance. The results showed the intervention was effective in reducing levels of performance anxiety (O1 = 126; O2 = 105.68), thought credibility and anxious thoughts (O1 = 64.43; O2 = 51.81), and self-perceived anxiety (O1 = 6.21; O2 = 4.58). The teachers reported an improvement in student performance (p < .05). Qualitative results demonstrate that participants could identify problems and take distance, transform negative thoughts into positive ones, and understand and expand their resources to face anxiety-related situations. These findings suggest that SFBT can be a valuable tool for dance teachers looking to enhance the performance of their students, reduce their anxiety levels to overcome stage fears, and improve their overall performance.

Essentials of Dance Psychology satisfies the promise of its title with an impressive, thoroughly researched, and meticulously organized volume that certainly could, as the author suggests, be (1) the foundation of a course in dance psychology, and (2) of great utility to dancers, dance teachers, dance psychologists, therapists, professors, and researchers. The introduction offers an important definition of dance psychology as “the scientific study of mind and behavior as they pertain to dancers, teachers, and dance practice” (2), elaborating on the myriad ways that this general construct is conceptualized. Nordin-Bates defines the overall aim of dance psychology as “enhancement of a range of performance-related and well-being related outcomes” (3). She places dance psychology in a genre inclusive of sports and performance psychologies, thereby elevating the field to its rightful place. The author appropriately integrates evidence-based knowledge and research from disciplines of sports and performance psychology without subsuming dance psychology into fields that historically have had greater attention. Nordin-Bates presents fourteen chapters organized into four parts for easy reference: Part I: Personality, Perfectionism, Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence, and Performance Anxiety; Part II: Motivation, Attentional Focus, and Creativity; Part III: Mindfulness, Goal Setting, Self-Regulation, and Imagery; and Part IV: Motivational Climates, Talent, Injury, and Body Image and Disordered Eating. The introduction and each chapter start with clearly articulated objectives that outline what the reader will be able to describe, understand, and use in practice. Each concludes with key points and recommendations as well as critical aspects of research on the chapter’s topic. Each of these offerings contributes to the excellence of this book as a graceful guide for learners and teachers. The section which discusses critical aspects of research succeeds at guiding, elegantly advocating for, and supporting the growth of the field. The writing is stellar, filling gaps of decades of marginalization or absence of any significant research belonging fully to the field of dance psychology. Adding to the readability and flow of the book is the inclusion of charts, quotes, illustrative black-and-white photos, case studies, and tables with danceand dance research-specific examples. For example, in a SMART Goals table, the S stands for the specificity of a goal, such as “to be able to perform a complex movement sequence while staying on the beat all the way through” (177). Other tables offer practical exercises and ways to measure constructs such as creativity, stress, and talent development. The book also contains a glossary of terms, chapter-bychapter references, and a comprehensive index for easy location of topics. Although Essentials of Dance Psychology provides a wealth of extremely well-grounded, well-researched, and organized information, it is not, nor does it pro
