Principes de la Danse Theatrale [French]

By Paul Raymond

Paul Raymond (1871-1949) originally trained as an actor but soon switched to dancing, becoming a noted character dancer and mime artist at the Paris Op ra Ballet, and later a distinguished teacher. His Principes de la Danse Th trale, published in 1925, is divided into eight chapters: Etude des Cinq Positions, De la Position des Bras, Exercises la Barre, Adages et Ports de Bras, Des Pirouettes, Etude des principaux pas chor graphiques, De la Batterie, and Quelques encha nements de pas, and provides a detailed and valuable overview of French ballet technique of the period. The text is illustrated by more than 30 line drawings and foot positions, piano scores are included for many of the exercises, and there are brief anatomical commentaries. The text is entirely in French.
