The ballet companion is a fantastic book for parents,students and dance educators. The photographs are of a high standard and technically correct, giving a clear and comprehensive guide to correct positioning of the feet, legs, body, arms and head at all levels. A must have for dance teachers of any method or branch of development.l
It's not as fantastic as the other ballet books I've got, but this is still gorgeous. The pictures are wonderful and glossy. This book focuses more on the structure of a ballet class, and things to keep an eye out for. It's great for youths, I think, who take ballet. It's wonderful, though, for people like myself who love ballet and want to soak in everything they can when not in class.
