The
Ballet Book series of workbooks was created to give teachers and students
supplemental materials to reinforce classroom work.
Each ballet illustration
has been designed to be technically correct
in position and staging. Vocabulary phonetics are an approximation
of American pronunciations of the French words. The Ballet Book Series has
been created with goal of
helping young dancers gain more knowledge and understanding of their art.
Author Donna Jones Carver first conceived
the idea of workbooks based on her own experience as a ballet teacher. Wanting to
give her students a broader base in ballet, she created lesson plans that formed the basis
for Workbooks III, IV, and V. With the help of co-author, Sally Weatherford,
she created this series. Over ten years went into researching, compiling
and writing the
background material presented in these workbooks. |
