marie - the link you have provided for the ballet cd-rom is interesting, and quite informative - though any number of the hyperlinks there seem to lead into downloads, rather than just pages; but the 'Contents' links seem to give some impression of what's there, without waiting for downloads, so i looked at them.<P>here are the barre,the centre & the 'interview' contents, for example: <A HREF="http://www.pav.org/barcont.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pav.org/barcont.htm</A> <A HREF="http://www.pav.org/centcont.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pav.org/centcont.htm</A> <A HREF="http://www.pav.org/intcont.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pav.org/intcont.htm</A> <P>

<P>at $35 US dollars - i think that's about $100 australian dollars - it's certainly not cheap. this is the same price as gretchen ward warren's 'Classical Ballet Technique' book, which is considered rather exorbitant here, even though it's worth every penny! - not to harp on about that book, as we do have it mentioned in other threads, at the moment - but i suppose if a parent asked me, i would have to recommend the product which i have SEEN , and KNOW to be good and reliable (the book), rather than the one (the CD) which is a bit of an unknown (although even the most dedicated parent, who DID ask me, a month ago, for her 16 yo daughter's birthday, would not have considered spending $100!)<P>the review there is very positive (although strangely, it is dated 1966!) even 19<B>9</B>6 seems too early...but..who knows?..i don't!<P>still, the site alone would probably be fun for some kids to looks around - <A HREF="http://www.pav.org/ballet.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.pav.org/ballet.htm</A> <BR>
