For most viewers today, classical ballet seems to be a conservative art, not very clear, and therefore boring. The book by St. Petersburg ballet critic Yulia Yakovleva was written as if specifically to dispel this annoying prejudice. Discussing the practical aspects of the life of dancers and choreographers, telling about the history of ballet customs and costumes, entertaining the reader with witty theatrical anecdotes, the author manages to create a lively and charming image of ballet art — ancient, but no less relevant for this. In addition to general information, the book contains practical recommendations for girls who dream of linking their lives with ballet at all costs, as well as advice for their parents.
