Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
There are many different methods for
teaching
classical
ballet
- Bournonville, Vaganova, Cecchetti, and Royal Academy of Dancing being the most widely known. All of these methods are effective tools for presenting the technique and
art
of
ballet
. Knowing how to use these tools successfully requires more than being a devotee of the technique; it also requires the mastering of various skills. Rory Foster aims to share his extensive knowledge of how to teach rather than focus exclusively on what to teach. He argues that it is not enough for a
ballet
teacher to be well trained in technique, but that he or she must also know how to utilize pedagogical skills. Designed as both a manual for beginning teachers as well as a reference for experienced instructors,
Ballet
Pedagogy
is appropriate for either followers of a single methodology or for those who have adopted a more eclectic approach to technique. Foster believes that effective
teaching
skills - proper demonstration, counting, correcting, musicality, anatomical approach, etc. - do not come automatically just because one has trained as a dancer.
