Good for all dancers.

EXTREMELY helpful book on ballet, which made it such a great Christmas present! (The one I got even was autographed by the author, Eliza Gaynor Minden, which was cool as well!)

Textbook for my adult beginner ballet class. Every helpful. Would have been nice if I found the book sooner.

I Love This Book, I wish I had This book when I was Dancing.
It has a lot of information that you need to know if your a dancer and
It's a great reference book for dancer's of all ages.

I give it 10 stars.

It's very Good book

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!
;)

This book was like the guide for me. All ballet dancers in training should have this book and read it. It shows the fundaments of you helath and how to maintain youself and technique and ballets and principles , its just great and inspiring! It teaches everything yu need to know aout ballet.

Brought to you from the person who revolutionised the comfort, affordability, performance and sustainability of pointe shoes, I loved Eliza Gaynor Minden’s book!

I would have loved to receive this when I was younger - there was nothing which quite fit the bill of both accessible and practical manual of ballet for a student, and beautiful history of the art.

hahahaha... I took like 1 and a half years to get through this... it was so boring as a storybook to read, but it was very helpful!!!! :D

This book was a very helpful guide to many of ballet's topics and techniques.
