When still a young dancer in the New York City Ballet, Suki Schorer was chosen by Balanchine to lecture, demonstrate and teach. He recognised her as that rare dancer who not only performs superbly but can also pass on successfully what they knowto others.

In this book she commits to paper the fruit of her twenty four year collaboration with George Balanchine.

Abundantly illustrated throughout with instructional photographs featuring members of the New York City Ballet, this book will serve as an indispensable testament to Balanchine's ideas on technique and performance.
