Title: Character dance
Description: The art of character dancing in classical ballet is now almost lost, but when this book was first published in Russia in 1939 it still thrived. The authors, all brilliant character dancers themselves, were teachers at the Kirov Ballet and its school, and were establishing a five-year course in character dance at the Kirov school. The first part of the book is devoted to class character exercises, and the second part gives specific character dances in various national styles. -- from back cover.
