Book review: Classical Ballet Technique

Classical Ballet Technique by Gretchen Ward Warren not only gives technique advice; it shows you exactly how to do each motion. With thousands of photos and dozens of professional ballerinas as models, this book belongs in every good dancer's library.

Why it's great: Classical Ballet Technique has so many photos, it's like a video library of every ballet movement--from tendu to grande jete to Italian pas de chats to that thing your teacher taught last week. The best part is that it's easy to study every moment of every move, and therefore easy to improve your technique even in little details you may never notice otherwise.
