This is a good book. It has a lot of information that is quite useful.
The images aren't very good. For example, when talking about 2nd position of the arms in ballet it says 'the hand is also slighly curved, with the parm facing the front of the body' and the image shows the hand facing the floor. More like modern dance. It also talked about turnout, and turnout should be ideally 90 degrees on each leg, however, the image shows 45 degrees on each leg with lines on the floor which make it show more seem right. These are minor points, but as most people look at the images more than the text it should be better. show less
