Reader ReviewsWriter Wellness: A Writer's Path to Health and Creativity Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet is a must for the dancer's bookshelf and includes brief entries on thousands of important people, terms, and choreography. It's a detailed work but newer dictionaries and encyclopedias contain more current information. In the grand scheme of dance history work, this book is important to own. You'll refer to it numerous times because it contains a good deal of entries not included in contemporary books.
