From the graceful flutter of Princess Florine at Sleeping Beautys wedding to the playful jet?es in the first act of Giselle; the variation - or short solo work - is one of the key elements of classical ballet. Arguing that true artistry requires in-depth knowledge; author Nina Danilova has worked with students for many years to focus on performing individual variations with the greatest extent of technical proficiency and artistic sensitivity.Eight Female Classical Ballet Variations lays out eight variations in the ballerinas repertoire. Each chapter is divided into five sections: a piano reduction of the score; a contextual note covering the history of the ballet; the plot; and memorable dancers who have performed the role; and instructions for dancing the variation itself; illustrated step by step.Accompanied by a comprehensive companion website; Eight Female Classical Ballet Variations pairs Danilovas method of teaching students with her decades of pedagogical experience.

Absolutely great. It explains the problems I am facing in ...By Kat ConardAbsolutely great. It explains the problems I am facing in the Pacific NW with C3/C4 grasses and highly tasty prairie plants in a land of slugs and voles. It mentions plants more likely to survive and what regions of the world I should look toward for these plants. This is the first book I have read that clearly explains meadows building beyond the physical steps of clearing. digging. and sowing. Most books limit themselves to meadows in the midwest and maybe the east. but this is far. far more inclusive. It is complex enough that I am still finding new information especially in charts after reading it several times.Hitchmough prefers meadows which include but are not limited to natives since he feels the public will appreciate a more attractive meadow than most natives can provide. However. the information on changing light conditions. plant attributes. and soil differences make this book appropriate for any gardener.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
