The Principles of Classical Dance

Vintage hardback coffee table book discussing classical dance. By Joan Lawson, published in 1979. First edition, 102 pages.

"The principles of classical dance are often imperfectly understood and badly taught, partly because the French terms employed are interpreted very loosely. This statement of the principles and description of the consequent rules are timely and will be important to all dancers and choreographers - also to ballet goers."
