Darcey Bussell is one of our most talented and celebrated ballet dancers. She joined the Royal Ballet as a Soloist, become First Soloist in 1989. She became Principal when she was aged just 20.

This book is illustrated with pictures of Darcey doing the exercises herself – and they are aimed at us ordinary mortals. So some of the ballet moves are done lying flat on the floor not jumping through the air. The ballet is combined with Pilates which is great for core muscle strength.
