Eureka! … Since 1981

Eureka! TV | From Dream to Reality (Volume 1)

Do you dream of becoming a ballerina, a star dancer, or of just beginning classical Ballet? Make your dream come true! With the help of superb archive pictures and Chloe, a nine-year-old girl, you will discover that ballet has precise terms, and that to practice it you must learn its basics.

This programme is divided into four main parts:

- The Principal Positions of the different parts of the body
- The Essential Movements
- Alignments
- The four Arabesques

You will then find a retrospective: the origins of classical ballet
and its development through the centuries. At the end of the DVD you will discover extracts from its sequel ‘Classical Ballet: The Dance Lesson’, which puts into practice what you have learned from this fascinating programme.
