Review by: Jelsey
Destination: NYC & around the world
This memoir by former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, Jacques d'Amboise, is an inside look at the world of classical ballet in the 20th century. It is full of insider stories of the great choreographer George Balanchine, impresario Lincoln Kirstein, and the renowned dancers of the era. It is a fascinating study of the development of a young neighborhood tough into the brilliant dancer on whom the fabled Balanchine created the most works. This is a big book with lots of photos, and I loved it.
