In more than 2600 photographs, professional dancers (from such
companies as the American Ballet Theatre and the Jaffrey Ballet)
demonstrate in sequence every movement in the classical repertoire,
from the most basic to the most advanced. Each photograph is
accompanied by a text that details appropriate teaching techniques
and describes the proper execution of each step. Warren combines
the best instructional aspects of several international schools,
including Soviet, Danish and English. A glossary defines common
dance terms, and a pronunciation guide provides phonetic
transcriptions of French ballet terms. A chapter specially for
teachers delineates a variety of methods classroom-tested by
Warren, a teacher-training expert and former professional dancer
with extensive credentials.
