Great technical manual for teachers!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Believe me, this is a book well worth adding to your library. It is as specific in detail as both the Kirov and Bolshoi 'lessons in classical ballet' manuals. Cecchetti classes are named after the days of the week so on any day the teacher would announce that 'today we are doing the Tuesday class'. Anyone teacher keen on investigating different techniques will find this work highly informative and it will assist in the broadening of their vocational students' dance vocabulary.
Excellent service and product
