Review: Excellent Introduction for the Novice - Beautiful coffee table sized book that serves as a perfect introduction to all aspects of ballet performance. A fan of Swan Lake for years, I have recently become interested in expanding my knowledge of ballet. This book is exactly what I was looking for. It is a well illustrated, informative and entertaining look at the basic history of ballet. It explores major ballets, choreographers, composers, dancers, dance companies and venues as well as historical trends and changes in the art of ballet through the years. While no means all encompassing, it nevertheless covers from "Beginnings Of Ballet" thru "Ballet Today" and is a perfect starting point for a novice ballet fan that provides the information to help navigate and further explore this beautiful art form. Highly recommended!
Review: Gift for a ballet lover - Elegantly designed book with gorgeous photography. The person I gave it to cried when she opened it. My only complaint was that the book was thrown a box with no padding or wrapping and was slightly damaged on the spine when I received it.
