As a ballet student who is aspiring to one day become a professional dancer, this was such a compelling and interactive story to follow.  I loved all the familiar dance aspects that were included throughout the book.  It was such a reflective work that I thought really captured the complex world of ballet. Would highly recommend to other dancers!
