Product Description

Product Description
Written with the full backing and expertise of the Royal Academy of Dancing and following the new international examination syllabus, this is a new edition of "Ballet Class". From the basic positions of the feet to exercises for the most advanced grades, this book is a useful companion for everyone who is learning ballet. It gives a selection of exercises from each of the examination grades, beginning with pre-primary and working up to grade five, the most advanced. Clear step-by-step illustrations and explanatory text take the dancer through each exercise in turn and there are checklists of important points to remember. Topics such as how to find a good ballet school, dressing for dance and taking an examination are also included. This book will ensure that dancers of all ages get the most out of their ballet tuition, both in and out of the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, 3 Jun 2005
This book is a wonderful godsend. It is writen in a way that everybody can understand including the children learning. It goes through grades in detail with full explinations and drawing, broken down in stages which I felt were easy to follow. It was great to be able to put pictures to words I had heard and more detailed explinations than sometimes you get during a class. There are lots of helpful tips and reminders and a good glossary of terms it even shows you where to sew on elastics correctly on your shoes!!! I highly recomend this book to anyone of any age interested in ballet. The only downside is I wished it was longer! and covered every single exercise possible it was that good a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very realistic, 22 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This book is real good, as it is based on RAD Ballet Training for pre primary -> grade 5. It was written in a way that can be understood really well. The best parts are the drawings. Very accurate and realistic. This book contains ballet vocabulary,ballet training (character too), little pargraphs written by dancers, and a few more things. It wa so useful that my teacher asked if she could borrow it!

I found this book immensly helpful and very clear to follow. It goes through important exercises and dance moves from pre-primary grade to grade 5, so gives you alot of help when practicing no-matter what standard you are! i reccommend this book to anyone interested in improving their technique, or wanting to start ballet lessons. I hope you enjoy it too.
