Book Reviews of The Ballet Book
Book Review: A Superb Introduction To Basic Ballet Technique.
Summary: 5 Stars
Darcey Bussell has been one of the world's greatest ballerinas so, when she writes a book on ballet, the expectations are high. Fortunately, this book does a great job in explaining and illustrating basic ballet technique, through a wealth of beautiful color photographs with ample descriptions, and is surprisingly extensive, even showing how to tie pointe shoe ribbons. The basics are shown by her young students, both boys and girls, from the Royal Academy of Dance, with perfect form. There are also many photos of Darcey dancing solo and in pas de deux, and a group photo of Darcey with her students. The quality of this book is first rate and a real bargain as of this writing. Readers both young and old should find this rewarding.
