Teachers and students alike find The Video Dictionary Of Classical Ballet the most innovative and dynamic tool ever developed for learning and studying the movements of ballet.

4 1/2 hours on two DVDs, this set includes over 800 variations in Russian, French, and Cecchetti styles. Many of the movements are shown in slow motion with multiple camera angles and voice-over narrative description.

This engaging program demonstrates the complete language of ballet: Positions and Directions; Barre; Linking Steps; Center Practice; Pirouettes; Adage; Allegro; Batterie; Pointe; Musical Enchainements

For easy reference, a printed index of all the movements and variations performed is included. This comprehensive guide features four of the most outstanding figures in American Ballet:
