I found this book immensly helpful and very clear to follow. It goes through important exercises and dance moves from pre-primary grade to grade 5, so gives you alot of help when practicing no-matter what standard you are! i reccommend this book to anyone interested in improving their technique, or wanting to start ballet lessons. I hope you enjoy it too.

Doing ballet at college this is a very good, very detailed book explaining things thoroughly with simple illustrations. Really helps show you how to perform and brushes up on your knowledge of ballet and the performing arts.
Suitable for all ages, although it is not brightly printed it is literally more like drawn scanned images and writing so it’s simple, basic, plain and easy however I do not think a younger child would want to read this probably ages 13+ is more idealistic for this book.
Very good I recommend it to anyone adult or child, just starting out or wanting to learn more ballet.

Arrived very quickly. Clear easy to follow illustrations. Nicely laid out..Possibly more basic than described (says it goes up to grade 5 etc.)

Although this book is a few years old and the layout and illustrations are a little dated it is still a valuable reference guide to the ballet syllabus. It is clearly aimed at children but it is a useful (and simply worded) guide for adults too. Very useful.

It’s a lovely book, with clear drawings and explanations BUT it doesn’t relate to the current syllabus.

I bought this book to help me learn about ballet terms.

Bought for my granddaughter going through her grade 1 ballet exams. May have been better to have purchased a CD but it was quite expensive. On hindsight would have been a better purchase

My daughter had been doing ballet for about 6 months when I bought her this book. It is ideal for those starting out as it explains all the main positions along with really nice illustrations and photos to make it clear.
It has sections on clothing for ballet, how to hold your hands and much more making it a great guide for all the essentials you need to know.
