Classical Ballet Fundamentals: A Visual Guide

By Charlotte R. Richards

A brief, accessible, artfully illustrated guide to the classical ballet positions, body directions and Arabesque, intended for students training in the traditional form. In a decades-long career teaching ballet in private studios, colleges and universities, I have heard many times from students wishing they had some small manual they could consult quickly, that showed the basics of the art of ballet. Now, here it is! I have assembled this Visual Guide to assist any curious student in learning or refreshing their memory about the nine body directions, basic Arabesque, the positions of the feet, arms and head; with additional vocabulary, concepts and objectives and other essentials for a study of ballet. So here we have a compact illustrated manual that any student can carry in their dancebag or backpack or, in its ebook format, may access on cell phones and other electronic devices.-- C.R.R.
