Review: Good little book - I am a beginning adult student, had one class in college. I have enjoyed looking at the steps with the pictures. As I am learning this clarifies the technique. I like the explanations. Ballet is challenging and this de-mystifies alot of the process. The pictures are in black and white, which I do not mind. It is straight forward and easy to follow. I am glad I bought it.
Review: A great book for older beginners - I had this book 30 years ago when I started ballet as an adult. It helped me tremendously as far as learning ballet terminology. If the instructor called out a step that I didn't know, I would come home and look it up and understand what I needed to do to create it. I loaned it out the first time but won't do that again. I hope it helps my grandchildren.

### ⭐⭐⭐ As expected
*by C***7 on September 24, 2010*

Great price for a straight forward ballet "dictionary". Some of the moves were hard for me to grasp but that may just be because I have absolutely no dance background. It's a good book for gaining a basic understanding of ballet movements and terminology.
