It also confronts serious issues dealing with the future of classical ballet and what is needed to maintain its rightful place as an important theater art.
Trade ReviewNot since Noverre and Fokine has a master teacher sought to clarify the present state of ballet. The goals John White sets for each level of training, the psychological philosophies he sets forth for teachers, the emphasis on a positive approach to teaching and forming relationships with students and parents can be read over and over again throughout a teacher's career. - Charles Flachs, Massachusetts Academy of Ballet ""It has been an inestimable privilege to have worked with John White for more than ten years. This book, along with his first, provides an outstanding opportunity for generations of teachers to learn from him as well. Bravo!"" - Michele MacDonald, St. Louis Center of Creative Arts
