Grade 3-8-This comprehensive guide, written by a teacher at Canada's National Ballet School, helps youngsters who love ballet to understand the hard work and commitment involved in classical dance training. Bowes opens with a discussion of the basics: choosing to dance, finding a teacher, evaluating a studio, and offering outfitting and grooming tips. Beginning in chapter two, black-and-white photographs and accompanying text meticulously lead a serious ballet student through every position, step, and pose of classical ballet. The pictures largely focus on one child with older dancers used to show more advanced, age-appropriate techniques. There is also a chapter on general exercises that promote flexibility, strength, and endurance.
