Customer Review:
Nureyev: The Life
This is a page turner of a book- not only for the unusual life of Nureyev but also for a look into the world of dance. As great a dancer as he was, even he struggled repeatedly to find his place in the world. As he aged, he needed to change his repertoire, and, eventually,... more info

from Berkley
Customer Review:
I went to see ABT quite often when Kirkland was a principal dancer, and when she actually showed up for a scheduled performance, she was astounding, one of the best dancers I've ever seen. I expected her memoir to be quite an enjoyable read (and I'm sorry, but anyone who frequented the ballet during... more info

Although I purchased this book for my children, I could not put it down.

| | 6. | [no image] | Ginger: My Story
from HarperCollins
Customer Review:
I was a huge fan of Ginger Rogers until I read this book--oy vey, what a moaner! She comes across as thoroughly tedious and completely self-involved. I can fully understand exactly why she had so many husbands. I truly sympathized with one of the later husbands who had to resort to hiding booze up... more info

from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $45.00
Customer Review:
When I saw this book, I just had to have it. Mikhail Baryshnikov was "the best dancer alive" as praised by "Time" magazine, and remains to this day an absolutely stunning performer.
