My First Ballet Book

Because every prima ballerina started at the beginning! Perfectly pitched text
by expert author Kate Castle gives a practical guide to ballet, while specially
commissioned photographs capture the magic of dance, from the excitement
of a child's first class to the joy of dancing onstage and the wonder of watching a performance. Clear information about what to expect as a young dancer—from what to wear to how to perfect positions—is combined with an inspirational look ahead to the turns, leaps, and arabesques that build from these first steps. The book is full of hints, tips, and step-by-step instructions that will help every child make the most of his or her ballet classes.
