She shows how young children, between the ages of five and ten, can learn the basic skills of movement and learn to control their movements within the capabilities of their age groups. She proposes a system of clear and carefully graded exercises, at the end of which a child can move easily into classical ballet classes, or have had the foundations laid for modern dance, jazz dance, folk dance, and indeed for life itself." -- Book Cover
