Book Reviews of Once A Dancer: An Autobiography
Book Review: Incredibly Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't really even explain how wonderful I found this book to be. I loved how Kent began with a real background of her childhood and how that played a large part through the rest of her life. She begins the story from the very beginning, which allows the reader to not just read the words, but live and know the words. Plus as a dancer, I was very intrseted to know her opinions on how the ballet world has affected her entire life. Kent also talks about what it was to live on and off the stage, and how both lives influenced the other. With her insane husband, draining money account, and later suffereing dance career, Kent survives it all, and eventually comes out on top. I am so happy she is at a great place in her life right now.
I also lovd her book "The Dancers Body Book" which is a great source of healthy diet information for dancers, dancer wanna-be's, and non-dancers alike. BRAVO Allegra!
