Prepared in conjunction with Canada's National Ballet School, this second edition of The Ballet Book is an inspiring resource for boys and girls interested in dance.

Generously illustrated with exceptional color photographs, this definitive guide takes young dancers from plies to pas de deux with invaluable suggestions for building form and joy in dance.

Also included are sections on finding a teacher, preparing for class and exploring the wider dance world. A chapter on performing introduces a number of ballets and highlights artists who appeared as students in the first edition.
