Ballet Pedagogy [electronic resource] : The Art of Teaching /
Foster, Rory.
Gainesville : University Press of Florida,
c2010.
Rory Foster argues that it is not enough for a ballet teacher to be well trained in technique, but that he or she must also know how to utilize pedagogical skills. He believes that effective teaching skills - proper demonstration, counting, correcting, musicality, anatomical approach, etc. - do not come automatically just because one has trained as a dancer. He covers all areas involving dance, from history to injury prevention, from anatomy and kinesiology to vocabulary and music.
