Brought the house down!

I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book. Danilova speaks with such warmth and dignity. I felt like I was truly experiencing life with her and I could almost hear the audience come to their feet as she took her final bows. Truly inspiring! Fantastic!
Engaging, genuine and informative in the dancer's own voice

Alexanda Danilova's accounts of her life as a ballerina is full of charming details, from her early life as an orphan attending the Maryinsky Theater school to her career with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and afterward. The penultimate chapter describing her teaching philosophy is worth many times the price of the book. It should serve as a manifesto for ballet teachers and coaches everywhere.
