This is one out of two books that I
had published about dance. The cover is very simple with a light red design
going through the middle of the book cover. “The Dancing Masters” is about all
the technical things that are involved in ballet. It also explains the dance notation
system, which is a method where you could learn fashionable dances. (cite: Amazon.com)
This is a picture of me when I was fairly
young and during my dancing days. I had long curly hair that always got in the
way when I danced! My face is expressed as very pleasant because I was a happy
guy! (cite: wikipedia.org)
This is a page from my book, almost
all the pages were written like this. They occasionally had an illustration of
either dance positions or how to execute the steps. (cite: openlibrary.org)
This is a picture of me and my
partner Elisabetta Farnese. This is one of our most popular pictures together.
It shows the beginning right before our dance was about to begin. We had always
worked well together. (cite:wikipedia.org)
This is picture of the ballroom me
and my partner had danced in. We always had a huge audience, and as you can see
everybody who was watching had been standing around us in a circular way and
not so much sitting down like how you see ballets now a days. (cite: minhson.chez.com)
This is a sheet of music that I had
danced to and I had put in my books that I had published. It wasn’t as long of
a piece that I would usually had danced to. I really like this piece of music!
It is very pretty to partner with and it spoke to me at the time. (cite: jp.rameau.free.fr)
These are dance
positions I had drawn and they are displayed in my book because they show the
technical steps of ballet and how to execute them properly. These have been
used for generations because they are so helpful to ballet dancers today. I
personally would use these pictures and descriptions every time I dance because
it helps me to remember how to use my technic to make my dancing cleaner. (cite: wikipedia.org)
This is a drawing of me during my dance career. I’m currently
in the fifth position of ballet technic. There are six positions, and my arms
are in neutral. Fifth position is the most common used steps that’s why I have
this picture show because it is used so much in the ballet world. This picture
is on page 20 of my book. (cite:pinterest.com)
This picture is also displayed in my
book. These drawings are the basic arm positions in ballet and ballroom. They
use these positions to partner a girl. I had to be pretty muscular at times
because when I had to lift girls it made me stronger. In the second picture the
girls would wrap their arms over top and we would walk and then start our
dance. (cite; Pinterest.com)
This last picture is a magazine
article of my partner I had danced with for most of my dance career. She is
very elegant and she has the same dress on as we had partnered in. I thought
this cover was very interesting and detailed. It isn’t of me but it shows my partner’s
beauty and she was a big part of my life. (cite: www.amazon.com)
