Students of ballet spend years in preparation for a ballet career; a great deal of energy is devoted to developing the proper form and the right look but achieving these alone does not guarantee success. The Dancers Book of Ballet is designed to help dancers make the difficult transition from student to professional.Whitehill and Noble caringly initiate inexperienced hopefuls to the facts of a complicated and competitive career: preparing a resume, selecting a photographer, choosing a company, how to audition. The Dancers Book of Ballet provides a three-dimensional picture of the special, private world of working ballet performers.

The Dancers Book of Ballet,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Dancer's Book of Ballet: From Student to Ballerina (Paperback)
This is a very well written book, that is directed to a older dancer, specifically one who is about to join a company. Informative and factual, this book guides a young ballet student through the grueling process of becoming a professional. This book will tell you everything you ever wanted to know and more about turning your dance dreams into reality: from auditioning, to joining a company, and how to enjoy it all the way! An excellent resource for any teenage dancer, this book gets 2 thumbs up.
