Customer Reviews

Excellent Book

This book is excellent for young ballerinas or even older ballerinas. The photos are nice and clear. I like the way it explains about the girl and what she does and class, what to wear, etc.

Perfect for little Ballerinas!

Well this is a beautiful book, with beautiful photographs, that teach and explain in detail the basics of ballet. My dauther is 4 years old and she's in love with the book, because it helps her practice what she's learning at her Ballet School! Little girls can relate to everything inthe book, it explains why they have to wear the leotards and ballet sleepers, and why they have to be neatly presented for every class. it also teaches about being persistant and that practice makes perfect! So I'm very happy, because my ballerina is improving in class thanks to this book that allows her to practice at home with a well illustrated and explained story.

Must have for little ballerinas

My 6 year-old owns this very book in german language and loves it. Not only the proper attire is explained, but the children are also introduced in the basic arm- and feet-positions of ballet and the french terminology. As a mom of a ballet-crazy girl, I can only recommend this book, it is made for children, but also very suitable for the parents. My daughter showed it also to her ballet-teacher, who also said, that she'd recommend this book to little ballet loving girls and their parents, as it can also be used as a good base for practise at home. The pictures are beautiful too.

Great Book for Dancing Preschoolers

This book is a must have!!! I have a 3 year old who takes Tap/Ballet lessons from a dance school and she is in love with this book. She loves to listen and look at the bright and big pictures of the children dancing and compare what she does in class to what the kids are doing in the book. Can't say enough good things.............

With color photos of the class in action

Ages 5-8 will find Ballet School a warm story of a young dancer's introduction to the world of ballet. The book follows the expereinces of young ballet students from first dance classes to year-end performances, paired with color photos of the class in action.
