Writing a book introduction is difficult, let alone one for a nonfiction work written for ballet dancers and teachers. The Illustrated Fundamentals of Classical Ballet for Everyone started as Instagram content coinciding with the blog A Ballet Education. Now, eleven years later, the first of three volumes is being published with the hopes of helping anyone gain access to ballet information. The first volume contains over 250 illustrations and over 300 definitions that define the art form and technique. David King of A Ballet Education takes ballet information for dancers, parents, students, and admirers and breaks down the information for everyone.
