Ballet: Beyond the Basics
"This is the text I have been searching for! I like how Ms. Hammond has targeted the gray area of not quite beginning, not yet intermediate, of ballet for students. She explains some of the more difficult exercises that usually get overlooked and that students are somehow supposed to know. I also liked her look at dance history, old barre, elements of artistry, and a recap of directions and terms." --Jennifer Waggoner,Riverside Community College"I love this book! It's an excellent tool for our students. We strongly suggest they keep it for reference after graduation." --Patricia Oplotnik,Oklahoma City University"It is very useful for students at the intermediate level who need a better understanding of terminology, purpose of exercises, and execution. The descriptions are clear and easy to understand, giving students written material for ballet that supports the physical experience." --Laurie Lowry,Saint Mary's College
