5.0 out of 5 stars
Scholarly and masterly written work on ballet technique,
By A Customer
This review is from: Both Sides of the Mirror: The Science and Art of Ballet (A Dance horizons book) (Paperback)
Ms. Paskevska - a one time pupil of Cleo Nordi, who was a dancer with Pavlova, who in her turn was a pupil of Legat. That is ballet tradition at its very highest level - need one say more? A truly wonderful volume, full of wisdom and knowledge. It is a must for every teacher of ballet, every serious ballet student and also for parents. Do not let the technicalities and French terms daunt you! The historical details are interesting, ex- plaining how the art has evolved during the centuries. As a fellow student of Ms. Paskevska back in the fifties in London I can only congratulate her on her achievement - in due course the book will be a standard work like "Basic principles" by Vaganova.

Have some water nearby...,
By BobbyB626 (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Both Sides of the Mirror: The Science and Art of Ballet (A Dance horizons book) (Paperback)
Make sure to have some water nearby. This book is as dry as the Sahara Desert. Nonetheless, the book contains invaluable insights and instruction on classical ballet. This is an important and helpful book to have in one's library.
