About This Book

"A revealing book about the grueling—and glamorous—world of ballet" ( Daily News, New York). Is everything really so beautiful at the ballet? For Miami City Ballet principal dancer Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg it is; but it wasn't always so. Learn how she made it through all of her high jinx mishaps, missteps, and tribulations, and continued on to a glorious career as a prima ballerina with an internationally acclaimed ballet company. Kronenberg shares her memoirs, hints, tips, and professional advice for aspiring dancers and their parents, hoping to ease them through the hard years of study as well as through the abrupt and challenging transition from student to professional. Covering everything from choosing a school and auditioning, to stage makeup and backstage basics, this books provides the answers young dancers need to help them survive in today's challenging ballet world. "Chock-full of tips and advice for aspiring dancers and their parents, and includes a personal account of the ballerina's rocky journey to fame." — Brooklyn Downtown Star "Entertaining, realistic, and practical—that big sister that you'd like to have beside you." — Ballet News
