Review

"Beginning with the origins of dance, [Lawson] describes how various forms and styles emerged through the ages. Clear photographs and an informative text make this a must for young dancers."
-"On Pointe
"The book is much more than a handbook.' It is a reference book of the greatest ballets produced; it is a history of the development of ballet choreography; and it is an emotional testament of the author to her love of ballet."
-"Dance Teacher Now
"This is a must for first-year students and an excellent reference for teachers of children."
