5.0 out of 5 stars The best ballet book out there., March 2, 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good quide to understanding your body in dance, July 28, 1997

By A Customer

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

4.0 out of 5 stars A great easy-to-read textbook, June 15, 2007

By	L. Warnecke "Lo" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
