You need To Check this The Ballet Companion Technique Traditions
While any dancer will find this book of great interest, it is something that would be a true joy to the beginning ballet student. The book begins with that essential first step of selecting the correct ballet school. It proceeds from there with all that I can describe as love.
Ms. Minden has a life long love of ballet, and she brings all that to this book. It's partly, perhaps even mostly a text book. It's the positions, the muscles, the techniques. Also there are tales of history, of dancers of the past that advanced the art. There is discussion of common injuries and how to prevent them.
In essence this is the complete book of ballet. It covers just about everything (except how difficult it is to get a job as a dancer). I really wish that I could have purchased this book for my daughter when she was first getting interested in dance oh so many years ago. Oh what a Christmas present it would have made.
I have a friend who is really fond of dancing and I want to gift her a book that will inspire her to work harder on her art

ReplyDeleteI'm in the age and weight I'm supposed to for Pointe and I have really strong calves and thighs. I would like to know any tips and excersizes and stuff like that to get there faster. I'm hoping to within the year. For best answers I need quite a few things in there not just one. I'll appreciate any advice :) Thx
