5.0 out of 5 stars For the Serious Ballet Student; This is #1 on my List!!!, November 25, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Language of Ballet: A Dictionary (Dance Horizons Book) (Paperback)

The Language of Ballet is an extraordinary dictionary of terms and definitions for the serious ballet student. I have been dancing Ballet for 10 years and I still didn't know the correct actual deffinitions and spelling of the terms my teacher used but this book shows you everything from pictures to written definitions. I would give this book 6 stars out of 5 if I could. I highly recommend you order this wonderful dictionary of ballet.

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty helpful book, August 1, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Language of Ballet: A Dictionary (Dance Horizons Book) (Paperback)

This was a very helpful book. The only problem I had was I wished it had more pictures. (It does have some, though). I would definatly recomend it, especially to people who know a few baisic things about ballet, but don't know much.
