From Christiane Vaussard in Paris, to David Howard in New York City
and Larisa Sklyanskaya in San Francisco, Gretchen Warren profiles
ten world-renowned master ballet teachers to capture their
philosophies, training methods and the classroom presence that
makes their instruction magical. Based on extensive interviews and
classroom observation, each profile is an entertaining and
enlightening mix of personal anecdotes and details about teaching
techniques, class content and organisation. Warren also includes a
section of signature exercises drawn from each teacher. Because of
the master teacher's diversity of styles and methods, as well as
their occasional disputes with traditional wisdom, the book offers
a brisk stimulant for reflecting on the values of developing and
holding true to one's own style and beliefs. Warren combines her
years of experience as a dancer and master ballet teacher and her
engaging writing style to create a living history of 20th-century
classical ballet training. Like their legions of students, readers
should appreciate not only these teachers' philosophies, their
endless curiosity and their devotion to ballet, but also what
distinguishes them. As Warren observes, ""A great teacher, like a
great chef, is a master at presentation, at making something - even
something as painstakingly difficult as the study of classical
ballet - so palatable that students swallow without hesitation. And
do so joyfully!"".
