A distinguished dance critic offers an enchanting introduction to
the art of ballet As much as we may enjoy Swan Lake or The
Nutcracker, for many of us ballet is a foreign language. It
communicates through movement, not words, and its history lies
almost entirely abroad-in Russia, Italy, and France. In Celestial
Bodies, dance critic Laura Jacobs makes the foreign familiar,
providing a lively, poetic, and uniquely accessible introduction to
the world of classical dance. Combining history, interviews with
dancers, technical definitions, descriptions of performances, and
personal stories, Jacobs offers an intimate and passionate guide to
watching ballet and understanding the central elements of
choreography. Beautifully written and elegantly illustrated with
original drawings, Celestial Bodies is essential reading for all
lovers of this magnificent art form.
