2 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 4 to read

Raising the Barre: Big Dreams, False Starts, and My Midlife Quest to Dance the Nutcracker | Lauren Kessler

so-so

This is an autobiographical story of how author Lauren Kessler after a tour of watching the ballet The Nutcracker in various cities decided to attempt to dance this world renowned ballet. Full of interesting facts regarding the story of the Nutcracker and ballet history and her journey as a middle aged woman learning the dance. Sometimes a bit long winded this book won‘t be for everyone.
