Inside Ballet Technique: Separating Anatomical Fact from Fiction in the Ballet Class - Softcover

With its focus on the natural laws governing human movement and ballet technique, this book gives clear and detailed scientific information relating to the ballet dancer's daily pursuit of strength, flexibility, mobility, and control.

The more knowledge the dancer - and the dancer's parents and teachers - has about the body as an instrument of artistic expression, the better the dancer. Inside Ballet Technique introduces the reader to the natural anatomical laws governing human movement and body mechanics, and relates them directly to the dancer's acquisition of technique in the daily ballet class. Easy to read, simply and clearly illustrated, Inside Ballet Technique provides a fresh perspective on the basic tenets of classical ballet, answering many questions that commonly persist in the minds of career-track students and dancers.
