5.0 out of 5 stars
The best ballet book out there.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inside Ballet Technique: Separating Anatomical Fact from Fiction in the Ballet Class (Paperback)
I am a young dancer and both my teacher and I have benfited from this book. Not only does it have certain tips, but it teaches dancers about their main asset.... their bodies. The portion about the pelvis not only helped my placement, but everything else benefited from that. My turns were better and so were my balances.

This review is from: Inside Ballet Technique: Separating Anatomical Fact from Fiction in the Ballet Class (Paperback)
I was assigned this book in college for Dance Pedegogy and found it to be a great resource to understanding anatomy as it relates to dance. It gave me many new insights into allignment, the foot and the hip flexor and not only opened up new posibilities as an instructor, but as a dancer as well.

By A Customer
This review is from: Inside Ballet Technique: Separating Anatomical Fact from Fiction in the Ballet Class (Paperback)
A well written guide for danceing correctly. The only problem with it is that it is not written for convience or quick reference. Inside Ballet Technique is what every dancer and teacher should know. Buy it, read it and share it
