Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet

by Gail grant!

 

my parents ordered that for me for christmas. i havent gotten yet though. Has anyone read it yet? my teacher has it and she is always checking things and looking things up in it if anyone questions her. so it seems useful

 

Thanks!

This is the best $5 anyone could spend for a ballet dancer. It may cost $5, but its information is priceless! A great exercise in price versus value.

That book is my bible. One of my dance teachers has always made sure all of her students have a copy. Its very thorough and has tons of useful information.

Thanks for the great information! I just bought it new on half.com for $3.50- what a great resource.

Great! And while we're on the subject of where to get dance books online, may I recommend Amazon.com, whose banner adorns every page of Ballet Talk for Dancers? It's got loads and loads of books and a lot of other things, and when you access it through the Ballet Talk pages, we get a few cents from each purchase as a "finder's fee". It helps keep the board open. So, anytime you want to use Amazon to shop, it helps us if you access their site via a Ballet Talk page. If you'll notice, it's the only commercial entity we give space to, because we feel that it's worth it!
