Product Description

Product Description
In more than 2600 photographs, professional dancers (from such companies as the American Ballet Theatre and the Jaffrey Ballet) demonstrate in sequence every movement in the classical repertoire, from the most basic to the most advanced. Each photograph is accompanied by a text that details appropriate teaching techniques and describes the proper execution of each step. Warren combines the best instructional aspects of several international schools, including Soviet, Danish and English. A glossary defines common dance terms, and a pronunciation guide provides phonetic transcriptions of French ballet terms. A chapter specially for teachers delineates a variety of methods classroom-tested by Warren, a teacher-training expert and former professional dancer with extensive credentials.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent,comprehensive reference., 20 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is the most comprehensive work covering the technical aspects of the art of ballet. Clearly illustrated and well organized, it is a valuable reference for teachers--the description of class content and ettiquette were excellent. As a former student of Ms. Warren in my days at the Pennsylvania Ballet, I am not surprised at the quality and detail of this work. It must have been a daunting task to compile, but many instructors will reap the benefits.

5.0 out of 5 stars you cannot go wrong with this ballet book, 3 Dec 1998
By A Customer
My ballet teacher says this is one of the best ballet books around. It has hundreds of pictures explaining each move and the common errors performing them. I am buying two more for my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for teachers and serious ballet students, 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent reference guide for teachers and serious students. While it does NOT replace study with a qualified teacher, it offers hundreds of photographs depicting correct and incorrect placement and execution of fundamental ballet movements.
