Proper posture forms the foundation of all classical ballet technique. The focus is on correct foot placement, spinal alignment, a neutral pelvic position, an active chest posture, and the natural extension of the neck and head. Clear illustrations and explanations highlight common postural mistakes and contrast them with the correct execution. At the same time, the book teaches how to consciously perceive and check one’s own posture in order to refine technique, improve the quality of movement, and prevent injuries.
