Great book for a young dancer

This is a wonderful book for an aspiring ballerina during her first few years - I'd say up to about age 10. It is more substantial than most "ballerina" books, but isn't just heavy technique that are in adult ballet books. It really fills the niche for that age group.

awesome

I couldn't believe someone wrote a book about Alex Dobles! She used to dance in the Nutcracker that I dance in. She is really amazing and dances at a top NYC school.

Awesome book

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this book. I know the girl!! her name is Alexandra Dobles and she's a friend of mine. We did ballet together many years ago and she has exceptional talent. Her focus is so strong, she is an amazing dancer. She dances in New York City in one of the top ballet schools there. I am sure that you will love this book as she has much talent.
