Wherever ballet is taught in the world, and in whatever language, it retains one common denominator - the technical terms used are in French.
Yet there are many discrepancies in the perceived meaning, spelling and usage between various countries and teaching methods, and this dictionary aims to prevent confusion by explaining the precise meanings of nearly 600 French technical ballet terms.
The dictionary is an essential reference work not only for ballet dancers and teachers, but for all audience members who wish to have a better technical understanding of this most elegant of art forms.
The book is illustrated with photographs of Michael Clark, Antonia Franceshi, and Philip Broomhead.
