Insights and guidelines for teaching the best students "Not since
Noverre and Fokine has a master teacher sought to clarify the
present state of ballet. The goals John White sets for each level
of training, the psychological philosophies he sets forth for
teachers, the emphasis on a positive approach to teaching and
forming relationships with students and parents can be read over
and over again throughout a teacher's career."--Charles Flachs,
Massachusetts Academy of Ballet "It has been an inestimable
privilege to have worked with John White for more than ten years.
This book, along with his first, provides an outstanding
opportunity for generations of teachers to learn from him as well.
Bravo "--Michele MacDonald, St. Louis Center of Creative Arts
Staying true to the Russian Academy of Ballet (St. Petersburg)
pedagogy he has taught for forty years, "Advanced Principles in
Teaching Classical Ballet" is a continuation of the work John White
began in his first book. Designed for teachers, company directors,
and advanced dancers, the book explores the importance of
disciplined dancing, choreography, acting, conditioning, and
performance. White's writing style is as straightforward as he is
unyielding in his insistence on excellence. White also confronts
serious issues dealing with the future of classical ballet and what
is needed to maintain its rightful place as an important theater
art. He argues that theatergoers with high expectations deserve
nothing less than masterful choreography performed by superior
dancers. Decidedly not a primer, "Advanced Principles in Teaching
Classical Ballet" is a must-read for anyone serious about teaching
and performing ballet. John White, former soloist and ballet master
of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba and interim ballet master of the
Pennsylvania Ballet Company, is codirector of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Ballet.
