Books about ballet

[Balletforever]

Would anybody be able to recommend some good books about ballet, stretching or dance injury/prevention..I would like to widen my ballet knowledge as I am hoping to become a ballet teacher and just love to read anything about ballet. I’ve read almost every single ballet fiction and autobiography so ideally factual books please😊

Safe Dance Practice (Edel Quin et. Al) is good for a basic coverage of dance science related topics!

This earlier thread may give you some ideas:

A teacher once lent me an amazing book on dance imagery and visualisation, some of which I still repeat in my head when I'm taking class.

I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but a quick Google search has brought up Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance by Eric Franklin, which I'm 90% sure was the book. 

If so, it's a great teaching and learning tool.

Brad Appleton's Stretching FAQ is (IMO) very good and you can't grumble about the price. It should be here www.bradapp.com/doc/rec/stretching/stretching_toc.html but his site has been suspended, presumably due to none payment of fees.
