Ballet; Dance, ballet (Children's&YA)

This text is designed as a complement to a beginning student's ballet training. The book opens with a brief description of the benefits of ballet training to young dancers, and then introduces fundamentals and precepts of the technique. Clear photographs show exactly how to execute each movement. Then an eight-year course is presented, taking the student from the age of five or six through the teen years, outlining exactly what is to be taught and how it is to be performed. For ballet students, their parents and their teachers, this work gives a basic overview of ballet technique that should be a useful reference as well as a guide to training.
