The Teaching of Classical Ballet: Common Faults in Young Dancers and Their Training

A C Black Publishers Ltd

The seven principles of classical ballet are explored through the practice of the daily ballet class. The sequence of movements is described at elementary, intermediate and advanced levels - which run parallel on the page for easy comparison. This major section is preceded by general advice to teachers, and followed by techniques that will help dancers after illness or injury. Joan Lawson taught at the Royal Ballet School for over 20 years and is the successful author of books on many aspects of ballet training, practice and history.

Ballet Class

MacGibbon, Ross

From a lifetime's experiences of teaching, lecturing and writing about ballet technique and history, Joan Lawson explores in depth all aspects of the choreographer's taks and art. The book, which is a result of the prompting of the late Sir Frederick Ashton, falls into four parts. The first part is "Sources of Inspiration" - music, literature, painting and dance itself; "Ballet Materials" - music and dancers; "Ballet Making" - style, basic structure, the grammar of choreography; "Styles of Ballet" - classical, demi-caractere, romantic, national and modern. Each part contains numerous examples from a huge range of ballets of the 19th and 20th centuries, some of the best known choreographed by Coralli and Perrot ("Giselle" 1841), Petipa and Ivanov ("Swan Lake" 1895), Nijinska ("Les Noces" 1923), Balanchine ("Apollo" 1928), Ashton ("La Fille Mal Gardee" 1960) and MacMillan ("Romeo and Juliet" 1965).
