John White, former soloist and ballet master of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba and interim ballet master of the Pennsylvania Ballet Company, is codirector of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet. He has been conducting seminars for dance teachers for nearly thirty years. A contributing editor and writer for Ballet Dancer Magazine, he is the author of Teaching Classical Ballet.
Not since Noverre and Fokine has a master teacher sought to clarify the present state of ballet. The goals John White sets for each level of training, the psychological philosophies he sets forth for teachers, the emphasis on a positive approach to teaching and forming relationships with students and parents can be read over and over again throughout a teacher's career. - Charles Flachs, Massachusetts Academy of Ballet ""It has been an inestimable privilege to have worked with John White for more than ten years. This book, along with his first, provides an outstanding opportunity for generations of teachers to learn from him as well. Bravo!"" - Michele MacDonald, St. Louis Center of Creative Arts
