The Dancer's Book of Ballet

About the Book

Students of ballet spend years in preparation for a ballet career; a great deal of energy is devoted to developing the proper form and the right look but achieving these alone does not guarantee success. The Dancers Book of Ballet is designed to help dancers make the difficult transition from student to professional.

Whitehill and Noble caringly initiate inexperienced hopefuls to the facts of a complicated and competitive career: preparing a resume, selecting a photographer, choosing a company, how to audition.

The Dancers Book of Ballet provides a three-dimensional picture of the special, private world of working ballet performers.
