"Building a Dancer" is a book in the educational series by the Fonteyn Academy Press. It accompanies the Academy Method International Teacher Certificate training program, but is quite helpful to all instructors and students of dance.

The Academy Method is taught at The Margot Fonteyn Academy of Ballet. It is based on the fundamental principles of movement as they apply to classical theatrical dancing. Carrying forward the teachings of Margaret Craske, and her students, this is what Dame Margot Fonteyn herself studied so long as she was dancing.

This book answers the question of exactly who is cut out to be a dancer, and how they can become one. It is an in depth look at all of the considerations major schools make in choosing students from the many who audition. Are you one? Find out!
