1. I love the fiction and nonfiction mix. I'm 28 and I'm learning so much about ballet. Love it!
2. I even went to the Internet to do more research and watch YouTube videos.
3. The quiz at the end was a nice addition along with the glossary.
4. The pictures were actual photography.
5. I've started a list of shows and movies I'm going to watch after reading this book.
6. Overall, this was a wonderful book for those who are in the early stages of learning about ballet.

It was good
I learned some things about the ballet academy. I didn't know they did school there also for kids that took ballet.
