Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. This book briefly looks at the history of ballet, the life of a professional dancer, and what a beginner needs to know about ballet classes. The main section introduces the basic exercises in a classical ballet class, from the five positions to little jumps and pirouettes. Full-color photographs of children in class show a series of motions for each exercise, while the captions offer explanations and advice. Translated from the French, the text generally works well, though the writing sounds like a translation from time to time. A glossary explains the pronunciation and meaning of French terms used in ballet classes throughout the world. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wow!,
By StarGymnast (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ballet For Beginners (Paperback)
I take ballet as a supplement to my gymnastics training. This book is a great help, and has thourougly guided me along the way. All ballet dancers will find this book has a fantastic resource, with tons of helpful info and advice. My favorite part, like always, has to be the section with all the ballet moves. It provides detailed instructions with full-color photographs to explain each move. This book also has advice on what to wear, which ballet school is right for you, and how to sew ribbons on pointe shoes. It also includes a chapter on pointe work skills. All and all, this is a terrific book, and I think all ballet dancers will love it.
