520			_a"Here is a book for both beginners and the keen ballet-goer. The story of dance is followed from its beginnings with the Romans and Ancient Greeks, through the Renaissance and the Romantic Ballet, to the modern dance of the twentieth century. In addition to this account of the historical development of ballet; there are unique and fascinating sections on the nature of baller and its appeal to audiences today, while an insoortant feature of this book is its complete reference section of dancers, choreographers, composers, designers, and ballets - contemporary and classical - in the international repertory. Throughout the emphasis is placed on twentieth-century ballet and in this respect every major country in the world is discussed." -- Back cover.
