Book Description: A warm welcome back to this beloved classic! For
decades the standard text for ballet technique, this book--first published
in 1952--presents a beginner's guide to basic movements, steps, and terminology.
Written by the staff of the School of American Ballet, it builds on the

Joffrey
School's Book Of Ballet Fitness
by Dena Simone Moss, Allison Kyle Leopold, Joffrey Ballet School, Steve
Ladner (Photographer), Deana S. Moss
Ballet-Fit is for the adult beginner ballet student, "whether 17 or
70." The authors admit the atmosphere in most ballet studios can be a bit
intimidating, but say it needn't be.
We concede that if you hang around your local ballet school or dance
studio, at first glance, it probably will seem to be filled with long-legged,
lean-limbed adolescents, with tight little hair buns, stern little faces,
and rumpled leg warmers around their ankles. But ... chances are the 23-year-old
stretching on the floor isn't a budding ballerina but a law student who
finds beginning ballet a relaxing break from her books. As for the thirty-something
woman at the barre, very likely she's a new mother who's thrilled with
the stronger, firmer, more flexible body she has developed since she began
classes.
A combination of confidence-boosting ballet instruction and fitness
facts, with plenty of photographs (although all in black and white), Ballet-Fit
offers a multitude of tips for beginners. You'll learn what to wear to
class, the best way to break in a new pair of pointe shoes, and how to
prevent injuries. And you'll even learn the proper pronunciation of the
French dance terms, from arabesque to temps de flèche. For
folks who don't live near a ballet studio or dancewear store, there's a
helpful directory of magazines, catalogs, videos, audiotapes, and Web sites.
Ballerinas, as dancer Allegra Kent put it, "have the strongest, most
beautiful, and very probably the most envied bodies in the world." With
Ballet-Fit and some dedication, you can work your way toward becoming a
toned, flexible balletomane, too. --Erica Jorgensen - Amazon.com
