One of the most sublime and physically demanding of the arts, yet one that more and more people flock to thru ballet classes and to performances. Yet the drama, glamour and elegance that provide the lure and excitement of ballet cannot compensate for the harsh conditions suffered by professional dancers who are encouraged to neglect and starve themselves in pursuit of their art. A compelling behind-the-scenes look at dancers and ballet in 216 pages is the first book to examine the difficult realities that underlie the glitter of dancers' lives.
