A reckoning with one of our most beloved art forms, whose past and present are shaped by gender, racial, and class inequities and a look inside the fight for its future.
What The Reviewers Say
... incisive and unsparing.
Angyal’s reporting is thorough and compelling, and some of the stories she relates are heartbreaking. A filmography and a bibliography will aid those who wish to delve deeper.
Drawing on interviews with insiders who include artistic directors and principal dancers, the author is particularly insightful about companies’ 'doublespeak”'on issues like thinness.
... captivating.
