Summary: This book has something for everyone
Comment: This is a splendid reference book on ballet. While it is clearly designed as a guide for dancers and would-be dancers, it is also a fascinating book for those of us who enjoy ballet only from a seat in the audience. I purchased the book for my young daughter, who will soon begin studying ballet, and she is entranced by the photographs, the discussion of the different kinds of ballet shoes and the careful instructions on how to execute the standard ballet steps. For me, the book contains brief but carefully done biographies of important dancers, synposes of ballet stories, a section on the history of ballet, and a description of the notation used to record choreography. The photographs are gorgeous and the content is scholarly but accessible. I highly recommend this book for anyone with an interest in ballet, whether or not s/he has an aspiring ballerina in the house!
