Description

Ballet across Borders offers a revealing examination of the ballet world beyond the stage curtain, exposing the realities that companies have long kept hidden from audiences. This absorbing book serves as ballet's biography, exploring the competition, camaraderie, sexual politics, and pressures that define dancers' lives behind polished performances. Whilst audiences perceive fairy-tale worlds of ethereal figures and weightless steps, the actual experiences of dancers involve constant fatigue, pain from injuries, and highly strung nerves that contrast sharply with the illusion presented onstage. Written by an author with personal training in ballet, this Bloomsbury publication provides an insider's perspective on the magic, intimacies, and hidden realities of professional dance. The book delves into the gap between public perception and private experience, revealing what ballet companies have traditionally concealed to maintain the mystique of their art form.

Written by an author trained in ballet, the work provides an insider's perspective on the contrast between stage illusions and the actual lived experiences of performers.
