Dictionary of classical ballet terminology
For students and teachers of classical ballet, this dictionary explains not only what each dance movement means, but how to do it and what it looks like. Each entry contains some or all of the following information: classical ballet term or composite term; international phonetic alphabet pronunciation; simplified English alphabet pronunciation; part of speech and gender; and definition or description. Whenever possible, it provides variations of the terms used within the Royal Academy of Dancing system and equivalent terms in the Cecchetti and Vaganova systems. The dictionary even includes everyday English terms such as side bend and sides step
