As a dancer it helps me learn about the world of ballet. It also teaches me different hair styles I can do for class, reminds me how to sew my pointe shoes, teaches me different stretches & gives me tips for different steps.

Whoo -- so I FINALLY finished this thing. I read it like it was a school book basically, and I have to say that it DID help me with some misconceptions I had about certain steps/schools/ballets. And the pics, guys, the pics were fantastic.
A BUNCH of ballet history was in this thing. So if you're going to read it, expect about 70% or more to be historical on ballet beginnings and ballet dictionary.

Wow, a wonderful book! I really recommended to any ballet lover. It has some history about famous dancers and the evolution of the pointe shoe. Well, if you love ballet, you need this book!
