Description
Classical ballet has a timeless and magical appeal for children and adults of all ages. In "Ballet Stories" five of the world's most famous fairytale ballets are retold - "The Sleeping Beauty", "Giselle", "Coppelia", "Swan Lake", and "The Nutcracker". As well as being a story book, "Ballet Stories" is also a source of reference for every ballet enthusiast. The illustrations pay particular attention to the technical accuracy of the dancers' positions, and feature the principal movements and steps for which each ballet is famous. Background information, illustrated with dramatic colour photographs of ballet stars, provides an insight into the world of professional ballet, both past and present. - from Amzon
