My First Ballet Book

From first exercises at the barre to graceful pirouettes and dramatic jumps, this amazing book is guaranteed to fuel the enthusiasm of every aspiring ballet dance-whether they are just starting out or have already been dancing for some time.

Expertly written text by Kate Castle (former Royal Ballet dancer) provides a highly practical guide to every aspect of ballet, while beautiful photographs truly capture the magic of dance, from the excitement of a child's first class to the joy of dancing on stage and the wonder of watching ballet in performance.

Throughout, professionals give hints and tips that will help every child make the most of his or her ballet classes. It is much more than just a 'how to' as it covers wider aspects of dance education, including creating dance, understanding dance and watching ballet.
