For students, teachers, and lovers of classical ballet, Ryman’s Dictionary of Classical Ballet Terms Cecchetti gathers the language of the studio into one authoritative volume. Rhonda Ryman distills technical vocabulary, port de bras, allegro and adagio phrasing, and Cecchetti‑specific nuances into clear, searchable entries illustrated with precise descriptions and pedagogical tips. Whether you are preparing for examinations, coaching a class, or deepening your own practice, this book bridges the gap between instruction and performance by explaining not just what the terms mean, but how they are used in training and onstage. Compact enough for the barre and comprehensive enough for the library, it is the reference every serious practitioner will reach for again and again.
