"Even the general reader will be rewarded with clarity, humor, and countless insights into Balanchine's sensibility and personality... an invaluable and highly practical record of how Balanchine did what he did." - The New York Times Book Review "Describing Schorer's book as encyclopedic is no understatement. Every single element of technique as Balanchine taught it is covered." - Raritan"
