From first exercises at the barre to graceful pirouettes and dramatic jumps, this stunning book is guaranteed to fuel the enthusiasm of every aspiring ballet dancer - whether they are just starting out or have already been dancing for some time. Perfectly pitched text by an expert author provides a highly practical guide to every aspect of ballet, while beautiful, commissioned photographs truly capture the magic of dance, from the excitement of a child's first class to the joy of dancing on stage and the wonder of watching ballet in performance. Throughout, expert professionals give hints and tips that will help every child make the most of his or her ballet classes. As well as a beautiful, inspirational book for children who learn ballet, this will be a valuable resource for primary school teachers and library buyers. It is much more than just a 'how to' as it covers wider aspects of dance education (a compulsory part of the KS1 and KS2 PE curriculum) including creating dance, understanding dance and watching ballet.
