from Gotham
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I loved this book! Not only was it hilarious, it also gave an interesting look into a world I knew nothing about. I laughed out loud at many parts of this book--Cody is truly talented at getting humor on paper! I have passed this book on to others, both men and women, and they have all also enjoyed... more info

2.Mao s Last DancerMao's Last Dancer
from Berkley Trade

Customer Review:
This book rates highly on my list. The determination this young boy had to succeed is outstanding. And the love he has for his family is heart-warming.
Growing up in poverty in China, he was given an opportunity to become one of China's dancers. Although he had no desire to become a dancer, his... more info

3.Gypsy: Memoirs of America s Most Celebrated StripperGypsy: Memoirs of America's Most Celebrated Stripper
from Frog Books
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
The book is an entertaining read with photos rounding out the text. Once Gypsy hits the big time, towards the end of the book, the story's excitement wanes, the struggle for show biz success being more intriguing than the victory itself. Overall, worth a read, especially on vacation as a beach read.

Prior to purchasing this item I read a review that said the book didn't say anything about Fred Astaire's personality. After reading this book, you can tell about every section of Fred's life, his up and downs, his feelings, his experiences. Mr. Astire writes in the style he lived...Elegantly... more info

5.No Way Home: A Dancer s Journey from the Streets of Havana to the Stages of the WorldNo Way Home: A Dancer's Journey from the Streets of Havana to the Stages of the World
from Scribner
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
...this book will fascinate you. This is ultimately a tale about finding one's place in the world; a place that seemingly evades and, at times, can appear as unattainable as a mirage. Carlos Acosta's descriptions of his familial and economic hardships are honest and direct without being either... more info

6.Nureyev: The LifeNureyev: The Life
from Pantheon
Price: $24.75

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 Huntington Press
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
If you're looking for the nitty gritty of the Dancers lives and activity this may not be the book for you - PG-13 at it's best. I was expecting at least an R rating if not more graphic based on the topic and nature of the book. Now that said, it is a wonderful and pleasureable read. Anyone who has... more info

9.Holding On to the Air: An AutobiographyHolding On to the Air: An Autobiography
from University Press of Florida
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Farrell had a rather dramatic climb into the spotlight so this is not the book to learn how a young dancer makes her way up through the ranks. It's also a little I-danced-this-then-I-danced-that, which makes it hard to remember important roles early in her career. That being said, she is a brilliant... more info

Customer Review:
I picked this book up out of curiousity. Jerome Robbins was legendary aong those who enjoyed Broadway musical theater. His best known acheivement was probably "West Side Story". In any event, I figured a bit of time spent learning about Robbins' life would be interesting.
Well, yes it was - and... more info
