Written and compiled by Monica Parker, this book is invaluable to anyone wishing to read the notated scores of the Royal Academy of Dance's Vocational and Graded Examination Syllabi. These scores provide far more detailed information about the set exercises, studies and dances than is possible in word notes alone. Starting with first principles, this book explains all you need to know about Benesh Movement Notation in order to read and write the movement vocabulary used in a ballet class.
