Product Description:
With this brilliantly imagined and beautifully achieved work, Gretchen Warren has created the fisrt comprehensive, photgraphicaly illustrated reference and teaching guie on classical ballet technique. In more than 2,600 photographs, Johan Renvall, Cynthia Harvey, Susan Jaffe, and an array o other dancers from such companies as the American Ballet Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet demonstrate in sequence every movement in the classical repertoire, from the most basic to the most advanced.
The book's design matches each photograph with captions that details appropriate teaching techniques and describe the proper teaching techniques and describe the proper execution of each step. A glossary defines common dance terms, and a pronunciation guide provides phonetic transcriptions of French ballet terms.

I bought this book a few months ago and now I wish I'd done it years ago... This is a must-have if you are a dance teacher.

It is also very organized, concise, short and to the point, ... Read More

Movements are broken down with inch by inch progression as a ballerina leaps through the air or executes a pirouette. Also explains desirable physical attributes of a professional ballerina. This book ... Read More

I bought it around the time when I first started ballet at the age of 15. I was kinda clueless about all the terms...but the pictures were so inspiring!
Now as a teacher, its an invaluable book. Full of pictures breaking down steps into clear bits. Wonderful!

This book is one of the best books I have ever seen. I like to call it my "ballet bible" because it is a perfect reference for ballet dancers and teachers. I love how every step is precisely explained and pictured with photographs of excellent dancers executing every movement perfectly. This book is excellent for all intermediate-Advanced dancers and teachers. I would recommend this book to beginners as well, not so that they can learn steps, but as a reference tool for steps, poses, terms and concepts ... Read More
