Gavin Larsen - Being a Ballerina: The Power and Perfection of a Dancing Life
Gavin and I were schoolmates at The School of American Ballet (SAB), she one level above me. I admired her as a dancer then, and after reconnecting more than two decades later - thanks to this book - I have come to respect her on an even deeper level. BEING A BALLERINA is raw, thoughtful, honest, and funny. Who could ask for anything more?
