Four double-page spreads with pop-ups plus three double-page spreads about ballet training and history, one ballerina is wearing three costumes in layers. Illustrated laminated boards. 'From ballet school and first steps to Swan Lake and beyond the footlights, see the world of ballet in three dimensions. The book tells how it all began, and presents the stories of famous ballets and how they were created.' 

A pop-up book about ballet that takes the reader, with pop-up figures and text, from ballet school and training, to ballet's beginning and the history of costume, and then to brief summaries of some of the great ballets - Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Apollo, La Fille Mal Gardee, and The Nutcracker.

Very  Entertaining, Informative read!
