Synopses & Reviews
"...this well-conceived book introduces children to the positions, movements, traditions, and history of ballet". -- Booklist
Review
Profusely illustrated with photos of student dancers, this appealing oversize book describes ballet positions, exercises, and steps, as well as what goes into a performance. (BookLinks, July 1999 )
Review
Everything is described in a clear and friendly fashion, and the pictures are accurate and attractive. Written in association with The Royal Ballet School, the book should be helpful to aspiring dancers. But it also makes clear that the path they are setting out on is not an easy one. (Parade , Sept 4 1994)
