As a dance educator of children, I am constantly looking for new and innovative ways to present technique in a clear and precise manner to my students. The Ballet Class Coloring Book by John Green has the best illustrations and ballet descriptions I've come across in a while. The explanations are clear and to the point making Ballet learning a lot more fun for children of many ages. I strongly recommend this book as a great educational tool for all dance teachers.

Children who are serious about studying ballet will enjoy this coloring book. It gives accurate information about some basic ballet techinique and seems to be based on the Vaganova syllabus - a truly scientific method for mastering classical ballet. Each coloring page introduces an element of correct technique and provides a simple coloring picture of a young dancer. I use this book in my summer ballet camp program.

It's a great book for girls very interested in Ballet. My daughter loves it. I gives the correct french names of positions and the pictures are large enough to make colouring stand out. its a beautiful book,especially when it's almost full of colour!

This is a great book, and my daughter enjoys it. As a coloring book, I think it would be more appropriate for 7 & 8 year olds than 9-12. Definitely worth buying.

As a ballet instructor, I cannot recommend this coloring book enough for children who are serious about learning about ballet. I use this in my beginning ballet class (ages 5-8), giving them a "memory term" each week. The kids are excited to learn the terms in this book, and they get to color too!

Like all the Dover coloring books, this one is an excellent educational tool as well as a fun coloring book. One thing that other reviewers have not noted is that many of the illustrations feature young male dancers. In fact, the dancers illustrated are of different ages and ethnicities as well which is nice to see.

I am a dance teacher and I bought this coloring book so that my students could learn while coloring. It is a nice book, with actual steps and definitions - quite thorough. It is not babyish, it is useable for students even a little older.

I suppose I should have realized from the title that this is not a typical coloring book.

It had very few pictures in it that were of any interest to me in coloring, as the majority of pictures were of a child illustrating the various moves and positions in learning ballet.

I would have been interested if the book had featured dancers performing a scene from a ballet. There are only two or three pictures like that in the book.

It probably would be a good supplement for a teacher or student of ballet. It is well-illustrated for that purpose, but as an interesting coloring book, no.

Gave to my preschool daughter for graduation gift and she loves it. I bought her colored pencils to go with it to make it a bit more special. Very pleased with this coloring book!!!!

I love this book!! I am a middle school dance teacher and I just started to use this book in my class. The discriptions are great for all ages of beginning to intermediate ballet students.
