Make your dream come true!

If your dream is to float across a stage like a ballerina - or you just want to try the art of ballet – this is where it all begins! Join Chloë, a delightful young girl with hopes of becoming a dancer, as she takes her first steps in this breathtaking art form.

The effortless grace of ballet is firmly based on a centuries-old language of basic steps, movements and body positions. Enter an actual dance studio and watch as Chloë learns the principal positions of the hands, feet, legs and head. Then progress to essential movements such as plier (bending), relever (rising) and sauter (jumping). Fundamental directions of the body are also demonstrated and explained, as are the four positions of one of ballet’s most recognizable and beautiful figures: the arabesque.

Featuring magnificent archive photos of dancers past and present, along with graceful demonstrations by ballerina Véronique Saouter, this is a wonderful visual guide to the fundamentals of a glorious art.
