Book Reviews of Classical Ballet Technique
Book Review: An indispensable book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had read great reviews for this book, and finally lashed out and bought it. Now I have, I can't believe I hadn't done so sooner. The photos of correct versus incorrect are perfect - simple flaws you often cannot even see at a glance, however they draw your attention to your errors beautifully. Please disregard the twice-posted mention of photos being too small. This book is so comprehensive that providing larger photos would make it the size of an encyclopedia, and is not necessary at all. THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL, particularly for adult students who are interested in learning the ins and outs of technique for themsleves alongside doing actual DVD or class lessons.
