If you are an adult and want to learn ballet or are interested in beginner adult classes, this book is the perfect preparation and guide. It teaches you what to expect as an adult in ballet, what to wear in class, the common mistakes adults make when beginning, names of different steps and positions, and a whole section filled with warm-ups and exercises.

As for myself, I took ballet for two years as a child and always wanted to continue in it (my parents couldn't afford it). Now I do warm-ups and exercises in my own home when my sons nap about 5 days a week for an hour each. This book has helped add more to my daily routine. I hope to one day be able to take lessons, but this book is very helpful and specific to the adult beginner.
