Reviews

Footnotes: Dancing the World's Best-Loved Ballets by Frank Augustyn and Shelley Tanaka, goes behind the scenes at seven ballets (including Giselle, Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet) to provide a history of the art. Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Margot Fonteyn are spotlighted as a look at the lives of dancers, choreographers, costume designers and others drives the informative text. A library edition of the book appeared last year.
