Product Description
Review
"Craig Dodd has been an assiduous balletgoer all his adult life, has written many books on the subject, his reviews have appeared in this magazine and the national press, and he has worked as an agent/manager for dancers. All this makes him well for qualified for the task, but even more so does his sense of humour and sharp wit. Long time ballet lovers will find much to enjoy in this book, while it is essential reading for every newcomer to the art who wishes to appear knowledgeable. "
--"Dancing Times "
"Another in the excellent 'Bluffer's Guide' series which manages to combine satire with information. The author, a critic and one-time agent for many ballet stars, has an obvious depth of knowledge of and love for his subject. He presents his information in the humorously offhand style which characterises these books."
--"Guernsey Evening Press & Star"
"Everything any good bluffer needs to know: ballet history, jargon, technical terms, and all those quirky little tricks of the trade that will enable you to hold your own among balletomanes."
--"Sunderland Echo"
"An amazing amount of solid fact disguised as frivolous observation. "
--"The Sunday Telegraph"
"The means to apparent instant erudition without having to know or study anything. "
--"The Daily Mail "
