• A Must Have For Dancers 19 July, 2008
If you are a learning (or even trained) dancer,, you should definitely buy this book. Teachers- you should keep a copy in your studio library. My old dance teacher introduced me to this dictionary, and I continued to use it in my college dance classes and when I taught dance on my own.
It's small enough to slip inside your dance bag, so you can take it with you to class. It's a fabulous resource for terminology, which is priceless to learning dancers. Because, there's nothing worse than going to a class when the teacher is of a different methodology. This one features several, including the more popular methods, like Cechetti. There are also some drawings to help you understand more clearly.
This book will help you learn all your arabesques, positions, and more.
A great tool!

• Excellent Ballet Dictionary! 25 November, 2008
I recently purchased this book along with The Ballet Companion for my 11 yr old daughter who is in her second year of pointe. I found both books to be invaluable reference guides and they go together perfectly as a gift. This book is an amazing resource for ballet definitions. The pronunciation guide is extremely helpful, especially for those of us who never took French. The wealth of information in this book is just wonderful, and its low price makes it a bargain. If you're shopping for a ballet reference guide, look no further. I don't think any ballet students should be without this book.

• Great Tool 03 July, 2008
It helped me visualize my eight body positions in order to put them in practice. It also helped me with spelling of different positions.
