Publisher's Synopsis
Following in the best-selling footsteps of Opera 101, BALLET 101 takes an already popular, yet occasionally intimidating subject and makes the culture accessible and understandable for anyone. Here, noted dance critic and teacher Greskovic has written a reader-friendly book containing everything a novice needs to know to watch and enjoy ballet, but is rich enough to interest someone with a stronger knowledge of dance. Includes a 300-year history of the dance form, an extensive look at fourteen popular and important ballets, bibliography, videography and more!
