I loved this book as a kid. I can't believe it's 26 years old now. I wonder what happened to the young dancers photographed in the book - if they are now part of ballet companies. It's a good book. It's informative but not overwhelming.

This is a good book for beginning ballet dancers to reference. The photos are nice and it is written very well. And Darcey Bussell is beautiful.
