Highly recommend for young dancers. - As a dancer of many years and a teacher of dance, this is just one of my favorite books for my young students. Really lovely pictures, stories, and a holistic approach to the art, history, and basics of ballet. So well put-together. An instant classic. Highly recommend for any young dancer in your life. Perfect gift, too! Review: Worth the money - This is a great book for any ballet dancers who want to fine tune their technique or starting-out dancers or parents who are serious about their art. Not to mention, Eliza Gaynor Minden is a wonder woman who has reformed the pointe shoe for the better. Way to think outside the "box". < dancer puns. Haha.

A great, informative book about ballet
I have recently begun adult beginner ballet classes, and I was looking for a solid introduction to both the history and the techniques. The Ballet Companion is that and more, it's very informative, nicely illustrated and really useful.

Kindle edition omits all illustrations
The Kindle edition does not include any illustrations or charts. Some of these omitted pictures are not missed but some are important to see positions and movements and they are referred to in the text. This good book is not so good on the Kindle.

O livro conta um pouco da história do ballet, de vários dançarinos e também ao final conta com um dicionário dos passos. Gostei muito da leitura, uma pena não ter em português. Faltam mais livros de ballet com conteúdo tão bom. Senti falta de mais fotos e imagens, mas mesmo assim, tem muito mais imagens do que outros livros com conteúdo sobre ballet.
