An informative look at ballet--a little history, a little technique, a lot of behind-the-scenes glimpses into the world of ballet (from a Royal Ballet perspective). There's a great reference section at the end with profiles of dancers, choreographers, and companies, a timeline, and a glossary. Would be a great resource for a middle-grader doing a project on ballet!

One of the books I would repeatedly check out from the library as a little girl.

I enjoy those books written for children. It helps me when I want to explain something to friends who don't know anything about ballet.

Good if your new to ballet for ages 8+.

Great for kids, especially those who are interested in ballet or dance. Wonderful pictures.
