description: The Bolero School is a book for both ballet and Spanish dancers. It is a journey through the history of the fascinating country of Spain, with its vibrant culture and people. The book is a fusion of fifty years of ballet and Spanish dance experience by the author as dancer, teacher, and director of Spanish dance performances for her own company in the USA and other countries. Grut endeavors to unlock and explain the many mysteries that surround this dance form for teachers, historians and lay readers. The connection to ballet is explored, especially to the style of the 19th century as found in the Cechetti method and in the work of August Bournonville. Also explored is the Bolero School's distinction from ballet that makes it so unique.
