Book Reviews of Reading Dance: A Gathering of Memoirs, Reportage, Criticism, Profiles, Interviews, and Some Uncategorizable Extras
Book Review: A must for any dancer: 30 pages missing from my volume ooops?
Summary: 5 Stars
A great page turner. Isadora Duncan - end of 'free spirit' section and Suzzane Farrell section had several pages missing.
I guess a print error, 30 pages total.
An excellent dance history source. I remember in one of my ballet classes the teacher asked us all to name a favorite dancer/role model that stimulates us as professional dancers. It was interesting that of all the dance majors none of the students knew of any dancers on the spot. Alessandra Ferri is my favorite and inspires me with a dance career well into her mid 40's and her role in Prokofievs Romeo and Julliet is awesome. However, this book should be on the curriculum of any dance school to enhance the students knowledge and interest in those that raised the barre for us all.
