useful

Such a helpful, well-written book! Each ballet "secret" is clearly explained & includes helpful photographs of an actual skater. I learned how small changes in position of your fingers, arms, shoulders, etc can make a huge difference in how your program looks to the judges. So much helpful information is packed into this small book. Highly recommended.

I teach classical ballet to figure skaters, as well as run a website and blog dedicated to the magic of these two worlds combined. Commitment, perseverance, artistry, alignment, flexibility, musicality, poise, strength, and solid technique are qualities that shape and define successful dancers, figure skaters, and skaterinas as I call them. This book is among my staples and I often pull it out so that I can quickly access photos that I feel will give life to the concepts I want my students to comprehend and master as they work hard to develop and strengthen their skills.
