Description:
In this beautiful volume, readers will learn everything about the rich and varied art of ballet, from dance steps and their meaning to the evolution of the ballet slipper and the tutu and more. Following the history of the dance from the first ballets in the French court of Louis XIV to the modem productions of the Dance Theatre of Harlem, readers will meet the greats of ballet -- Fonteyn, Baryshnikov, Balanchine -- as well as the choreographers, costume designers, and composers who together create a unique work of art every time a ballet is performed.
Expand description
Photographs from the world of dance illustrate the book, and the scores of Tchaikovsky's classic ballets -- The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty performed by the London Festival Orchestra and the New Philharmonic Orchestra London -- are featured on the accompanying CD.
