Investing in The Ballet Bible

Hi!
I began dance when I was 3 in a creative movement class. A year ago I was on pointe and in the second highest level at the school. Then, I changed to a professional training studio where they made me start all over and took me off pointe. I work very hard at every class, but I feel like I am unnoticed. I have moved up a level, but I am still not where I would like to be. Should I invest in the Ballet Bible? It looks like it would help me improve a ton. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

  1. I was the one who wrote the email to anita about going into the advanced 1 class next year. The ballet bible helped me so much and now i am no where near as scared about going into a higher class. It has heaps of helpful advice and instead of just showing you how to do the movements, it reminds you to think about all the little things. I highly recommend buying it, it was a good investment for me and im sure it will be for you too. Best of luck, hope it all goes well for you

  3. I don’t know about the ballet bible, but I can definitly recommend a book called The Ballet Companion by Eliza Gaynor-Minden. It was really great and has lots of step-by-step instuctions, tips, photos of the correct position for each step, and ballet anecdotes. I loved it! Merde, and I hope you find a good guide and get where you want to be at your new school.

  4. I also have the ballet companion by Eliza-Gaynor Minden and it is excellent as well, but both are great for different reasons. It depends on what you’re after as the content is so different.
