{"product_id":"celestial-bodies-how-to-look-at-ballet","title":"Celestial Bodies: How to Look at Ballet","description":"A distinguished dance critic offers an enchanting introduction to the art of ballet\n\nAs much as we may enjoy Swan Lake or The Nutcracker, for many of us ballet is a foreign language. It communicates through movement, not words, and its history lies almost entirely abroad -- in Russia, Italy, and France. In Celestial Bodies, dance critic Laura Jacobs makes the foreign familiar, providing a lively, poetic, and uniquely accessible introduction to the world of classical dance. Combining history, interviews with dancers, technical definitions, descriptions of performances, and personal stories, Jacobs offers an intimate and passionate guide to watching ballet and understanding the central elements of choreography.\n\nBeautifully written and elegantly illustrated with original drawings, Celestial Bodies is essential reading for all lovers of this magnificent art form.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465098479\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0465098479.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jacobs, Laura\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
