Movie Reviews of The Video Dictionary of Classical Ballet
Movie Review: Wonderful Video!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is a video for every ballet enthusiast. It is well spoken and pronounces the French words easily. The steps are clear and put in slow motion and fast motion. I recommend that ANYONE, ages 1 to 100, should see this video.
