Book Reviews of Basic Ballet: The Steps Defined (Penguin Handbooks)

Book Review: As expected
Summary: 3 Stars

Great price for a straight forward ballet "dictionary". Some of the moves were hard for me to grasp but that may just be because I have absolutely no dance background. It's a good book for gaining a basic understanding of ballet movements and terminology.
