Customer comments on this selection.
 Step by step
This book is great for the beginning teacher. I liked the suggested order and combination of barre excercises going from beginning to more difficult. Center work is also covered with suggestions of how to build a routine for an adagio and an allegro. It's a wonderful reference book and can be used in teaching adults.
 Great resource for adult beginners and dance teachers
This is an excellent resource for adults wanting to understand more about the basic movements of classical ballet. The first couple of chapters are aimed at dance teachers - you can skip these if you want - but definitely read the section on the steps. It makes some of the things you do in class much easier to understand. This is a great resource for adults doing recreational classes and college students.
I also purchased the CD ROM that goes with it. Its great. You need to contact the publisher for an 'unlock code' to install it on your pc. But thats ok, they are pretty quick. A++++
Excellent resource
This book was written to be used in an academic setting but is an excellent resource for teaching beginning ballet in general. I was a dancer for many years, but I am just now getting in to teaching. Like the authors said, it is good to get a review because it is a long time since I was a beginner. The book helps to clarify what beginners can and can't do. I just skipped over the parts about tailoring your classes to teaching in high school/college since it didn't apply.
Technique Illustrated
I was asked to teach a ballet class as an extension club activity in my school and was looking for a book that would illustrate correct technique. After carefully reviewing numerous books, I chose this one. I provided what I was looking for.
Good reference guide!
As a new dance teacher, I have ordered several books and other resources on teaching. This book is definitely a good purchse - it basically outlines class format and what should be covered for various levels of beginners. I feel it also applies to intermediate students as well. Lots of pictures and descriptions make it easy to understand. I would recommend it for any ballet teacher.
