Ballet School shows the epitome of ballet student standards

This book is very well suited for the aspiring young ballet student. Although it shows the prestious English Royal Ballet School, it shows the standard which all ballet students should reach. The young students auditioning for entrance are already well trained, and their physique is evident in the beautiful photos. The photos are more prolific than the writing, which is what is important in ballet - the look, the style, the training. All parents of children who aspire to a ballet career should view this book to see what is expected in London, and therefore, the standard set for ballet students all over the world.
