"The 'Classical Ballet Lesson' is a real treasure for children's first steps into the world of classical dance. The great teacher Leonidas De Pian guides young dancers to acquire the proper foundations that will determine their further progress. Thanks to the experience gained from the most important teachers of his time, the dancers of Russia and Diaghilev's ballets, Leonidas De Pian learned that a good lesson is a simple lesson. 'The student must focus on the flawless execution of the exercises and not on the execution of complex choreographies, while the teacher must see all the details. After all, aspiring dancers must not forget the words of the top Martha Graham...'Do not follow the music; you are the music!'"
