Description:
Suki Schorer, when she was still a young dancer in the New York City Ballet, was chosen by Balanchine to lecture, demonstrate, and teach -- he recognized in her that rare dancer who can not only perform superbly but who can successfully pass along what she knows to others. Now, she commits to paper the fruit of her 24-year collaboration with Balanchine in a detailed examination of his technique for teachers, scholars, and advanced students of the ballet.
Expand description
Schorer discusses the crucial work at the barre as well as center work, port de bras (arm positions), pointework, jumps, and partnering. Her recollections of her own tutelage under Balanchine and her brilliant use of dozens and dozens of his remarks about dancing and dancers lend great authority and intimacy to this magnificent anatomy of the master's legacy to twentieth century dance.
Profusely illustrated with (hundreds of) instructional photographs throughout.
