Summary Ballet is a special language of graceful movement. The basic terms for these movements that every student must learn are also a special language, all originating in France. This book presents concise, easy-to-understand definitions of common ballet terms, and includes phonetic pronunciation for all foreign words. Also included are brief biographies of famous dancers and dance companies. Over 100 line drawings show clearly how movements are to be executed. -- from back cover
