FIRST STEPS IN BALLET begins with basic exercises at the barre. The student will need access to some sort of barre in order to successfully utilize this title. Ms. Mara includes guidelines for the barre set-up and exercise times in a note for students.

While the five positions of the feet and advice on barre work is covered in step-by-step black-and-white drawings, there is plenty of written advice on correct body placement, common mistakes, and correct practice procedures.
