A small sample of the great feedback for: The Ballet Combination Book

I want to tell you how thrilled I am with your book. After 27 year of teaching ballet, I am always looking for new combinations. Some of my students have been with me for 15 years or more, and I see them take notice when I use one of your combinations. They are written clearly and conscisely. A great job.....VH

I just recieved your book and am thrilled. I am considering making it a requirement for my advanced students to have in their arsenal for the days I need them to fill in classes. You have done a lovely job arranging this book.... SL

I recieved the material that I ordered and it is excellent. I have a health issue and must be absent for several weeks. The ballet combos are wonderful and will save me so much time in trying to put together a manual for the sub. The Children's favorites will be very helpful in teaching the younger students. I am a buck and wing tap teacher... and the young lady will be able to grasp the tap routines very nicely. The material I ordered is so... very...what I needed. Dancingly, TL

The best book ever is from choreographco.com. It's called the Ballet Combination Book and is the best thing! They have tons of exercises for barre, center, .... It is very easy to understand and you have so many to pick from. It helps me to get organized... I also have their new book with pointe exercises, it's just as good. by kristisdance
