'There are many ballet teachers who are revisiting the classical vocabulary in light of other movement techniques...yoga, martial arts, Pilates, Alexander Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals...I applaud [ this book's effort to enlighten ballet teachers into realizing that basic movement principles and attention to developmental aspects of teaching are important.' - Melanie Bales, Ohio State University
'Anna Paskevska's fascinating and informative book explores and develops balletic tradition, technique and vocabulary...full of sound advice both technical and aesthetic.' - Frank Freeman, Dancing Times
