Book Review: Favorite ballet book !!!! (RATE ME!!!)
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love ballet and want to get ahead on the class and know the steps before your teacher shows them to you then you should defenetiley buy this book I just love it I have learned so much from it and it really let's you understand the step if you have any doubts this honestly is the best ballet book for really begginers all the way up to masters I love it because whenever I have any doubts I just look it up in the book, you may see more expensive dictionaries and think they are better but don't think about that I have bought some more expensive thinking that they are really informative but this is the best if you are a ballet dancer and don't have this book buy it you'll never regret it, it's an essential for any ballet dancer i'm sure you will like it as much as me, plus it has the body positions drawn and you can actually learn them well, and more drawings, also it is for the french, russian ,and the Cecchetti method, what i'm trying to say is that this is an awesome book and you really should get it, it's the best dictionary, in my opinion
