Editorial Reviews:
|
From adagio to voyage, over 800 steps, movements, poses and concepts are fully defined. A pronunciation guide, cross-references to alternate names for similar steps and positions that vary from the Russian to the French or Italian schools, are also invaluable aids.

Summary: this seller is ok...
Comment: The buying part was great. I tried contacting the seller several times and received no response. The item took longer than I expected to arrive. Although they say up to 15 days, if the item is being shipped from the same state where you live, the shipping time should only take 1 day. I received my item in like a week and a half; meaning that it took this person about a week and a couple of days to put a book in the mail.

Summary: Excellent Ballet Dictionary!
Comment: I recently purchased this book along with The Ballet Companion for my 11 yr old daughter who is in her second year of pointe. I found both books to be invaluable reference guides and they go together perfectly as a gift. This book is an amazing resource for ballet definitions. The pronunciation guide is extremely helpful, especially for those of us who never took French. The wealth of information in this book is just wonderful, and its low price makes it a bargain. If you're shopping for a ballet reference guide, look no further. I don't think any ballet students should be without this book.

Summary: A Great Reference Guide That'll Keep You On Your Toes!
Comment: First published in 1950, this ballet reference guide has stood the test of time. Who's it for? Ballet students and teachers, choreographers, or any ballet enthusiast. Here's what the book covers:
-descriptions and definitions of over 1100 ballet steps (in alphabetical order)
-how to say the darn words (worth the price of the book alone!)
-illustrations showing you body positions for the more common ballet steps and movements
-cross-references to other names for similar steps/positions that vary from the Russian, French and Italian schools
A must have book that can easily be toted around, I doubt most readers will regret buying it. Other ballet resources I recommend include The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for practitioners who have trouble with their feet.

Summary: A Must Have for Dancers
Comment: If you are a learning (or even trained) dancer,, you should definitely buy this book. Teachers- you should keep a copy in your studio library. My old dance teacher introduced me to this dictionary, and I continued to use it in my college dance classes and when I taught dance on my own.
It's small enough to slip inside your dance bag, so you can take it with you to class. It's a fabulous resource for terminology, which is priceless to learning dancers. Because, there's nothing worse than going to a class when the teacher is of a different methodology. This one features several, including the more popular methods, like Cechetti. There are also some drawings to help you understand more clearly.
This book will help you learn all your arabesques, positions, and more.
A great tool!
