Sinossi

Ballet Practice and History is a complete, inclusive resource on ballet training and history for the beginning teen-adult reader. Unique in its balanced discussion of technique and history, this book guides readers through an accessible methodology of training while also presenting ballet's historical development through a culturally inclusive lens. Part One presents a progression of study guiding the reader through a series of eight scaffolded lessons, including terminology, descriptions, learning guides and lessons. Methods of learning ballet are presented in a healthy and anatomically sound approach for diverse audiences. Each chapter has a dedicated ballet class to reinforce terminology and concepts, available as a video lesson for readers to follow. Part Two presents a global survey of ballet's historical development expanding on the traditional European context to include histories in Mexico, Cuba, South America, South Africa and East-Asia. It also discusses cultural issues associated with ballet, including race, gender, sexuality, and cultural representation, allowing readers to understand ballet's role in contemporary society. Ballet Practice and History is a comprehensive look at ballet for the general enthusiast or for readers looking to deepen their knowledge of the art form, and a resource for students in higher education, studying at a private studio, or independently.
