Beginning Ballet by Gayle Kassing

“What is most welcome about Beginning Ballet is the multidisciplines represented—dance medicine and science, dance education, and dance historyThis, combined with the preparation-for-class information (foot care, dance gear, selecting and fitting shoes, mental preparation) and technique instruction (positions of the arms and feet, barre and center combinations, center barre, port de bras, adagio and allegro), makes it a valuable text for students.”
