5 out of 5 stars For the advanced dancer   March 2, 2008
The information is invaluable and an excellent reference at an incredibly low price. But a beginner reading this book would be like reading about myocardial infarctions for someone not knowledgeable in medical terminology (that's a heart attack). It makes sense if you have a grasp on ballet already, but should not be bought as a guide from which to learn ballet. If you are looking for a place to quickly look up a step, and already have a good deal of training, then this is the book for you.


5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know   March 17, 2007
I was reaquired to purchase this book many years ago for a college level ballet class I took. I still have my copy. It's an outstanding reference for terminology.


5 out of 5 stars Best Ballet Dictionary   November 11, 2006
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I am a dance instructor, and have been using this Ballet Dictionary for over 15 years. It is easy to use and all of the terminology is correct and easy to understand. Steps are described in great detail, and I would recommend this book to dance students of every age and every skill level. For the price, you can't find a better Ballet Dictionary!


5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for any dancer any age   June 13, 2006

All dancers should be familiar with classical ballet terminology. This book is great for spelling, pronunciation and defition. It's one of those great books to have in your ballet bag at all times. I wouldn't go anywhere without mine! Highly recommended for all dancers.

This a great manual if you want to compare RAD, Vaganova,BBO and Cecchetti methodology.
