Indicates proper posture and positions at all needed basic steps. Very Informative with great step by step illustrations to answer those very technical questions. Review: perfect for all levels - This book is very well written and has wonderful pictures. There are pictures of the author as a professional dancer but most depictions of styles and steps are of children in the Royal Ballet Academy, which makes it very accessible and inspiring to kids. Would appeal to both kids who are already taking dance and those who are just interested in dance. Has a lot of how-to and what-to-expect as well. Wonderful resource for anyone interested in ballet, no matter to what degree or in what level of experience. Very glad to have this in our dance/exercise library! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #58,275 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #25 in Exercise & Fitness For Children #30 in Children's Fitness Books (Books) #69 in Children's Dance Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 661 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ballet Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mkt-0L1jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book *by A***R on January 23, 2025* Great Book for any ballet youth students that wants to improve thier dance .

Fortunately, this book does a great job in explaining and illustrating basic ballet technique, through a wealth of beautiful color photographs with ample descriptions, and is surprisingly extensive, even showing how to tie pointe shoe ribbons. The basics are shown by her young students, both boys and girls, from the Royal Academy of Dance, with perfect form. There are also many photos of Darcey dancing solo and in pas de deux, and a group photo of Darcey with her students. The quality of this book is first rate and a real bargain as of this writing. Readers both young and old should find this rewarding. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Ballet Book - The Ballet Book: The Young Performer's Guide to Classical Dance - Ballerina: A Step-by-Step Guide to Ballet (Residents of the United States of America) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1182122-the-ballet-book](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1182122-the-ballet-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
