Book excerpt: The Secret of the Ballet Book (Children's Fantasy Book, Ballet Fiction, Children's Mystery Book, Children's Career Book) Would Sierra live to prove she is a famous-ballerina-to-be? Sierra's only hope of saving her ballerina dreams is an ordinary ballet book, or so it seems - until a dancer steps out of a page. What's more? Rosella, the ballerina, offers to train Sierra for the audition which might convince her schoolwork-obsessed mum that her daughter is a famous-ballerina-to-be. Sierra cannot believe her luck. Except that Rosella's fate is now in her hands: if she fails to find a way to free Rosella from the magic spells of the witch who trapped her in the book, the dancer will forever have to return to the page within a few hours, whenever she comes out. But even scarier is that if Rosella misses the witch's deadline, she will disappear. And this is just the beginning of Sierra's challenges ... Could Sierra overcome them, and succeed at her audition to avoid having to quit ballet school and give up dance? Would she get Rosella out of the ballet book for good? Or would Sierra end up inside the book too? Worse still, disappear?

Book excerpt:  Dancer Robert Barnett trained under legendary choreographer Bronislava Nijinska. His professional ballet career was launched when he joined the Colonel de Basil Original Ballet Russe company. In the late 1940s, when George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein formed the New York City Ballet, Barnett was among the first generation of dancers. Under Balanchine's direction, he rose from corps de ballet to soloist. In 1958 he became principal dancer and associate artistic director of the Atlanta Ballet--the oldest continuously operating company in America--and served as artistic director for more than thirty years. He was head coach of the American delegation to the International Ballet Competitions in Varna, Bulgaria, in 1980 and in Moscow in 1981. Barnett's autobiography recounts the life of a dancer and artistic director, offers insight into what is involved in pursuing a professional career in dance and provides a history of ballet in America from the early 1920s through 2019.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1866, when the ballet La Source debuted, the public at the Paris Opera may have been content to dream about its setting in the verdant Caucasus, its exotic Circassians, veiled Georgians, and powerful Khan. Yet the ballet's botany also played to a public thinking about ethnic and exotic others at the same time-and in the same ways-as they were thinking about plants. Along with these stereotypes, with a flower promising hybridity in a green ecology, and the death of the embodied Source recuperated as a force for regeneration, the ballet can be read as a fable of science and the performance as its demonstration. Programmed for the opening gala of the new Opera, the Palais Garnier, in 1875 the ballet reflected not so much a timeless Orient as timely colonial policy and engineering in North Africa, the management of water and women. One Dead at the Paris Opera Ballet takes readers to four historic performances, over 150 years, showing how-- through the sacrifice of a feminized Nature-- La Source represented the biopolitics of sex and race, and the cosmopolitics of human and natural resources. Its 2011 reinvention at the Paris Opera, following the adoption of new legislation banning the veil in public spaces, might have staged gender and climate justice in sync with the Arab Spring, but opted instead for luxury and dream. Its 2014 reprise might have focused on decolonizing the stage or raising eco-consciousness, but exemplified the greater urgency attached to Islamist threat rather than imminent climate catastrophe, missing the ballet's historic potential to make its audience think.

Book excerpt: Footprints of the Dance — An Early Seventeenth-Century Dance Master’s Notebook by Jennifer Nevile provides new, fascinating and detailed information on the life of an early-seventeenth-century dance master in Brussels. The dance master’s handwritten notebook contains unique material: a canon of dance figures and instructions for an exhibition with a pike; as well as signatures and general descriptions of his students, ballet plots and music associated with dancing. Reproduced for the first time are facsimile images of all the dance-related material, with transcriptions and translations of the ballet plots and instructions for the pike exhibition. The dance master is revealed as an active choreographer and performer, with strong ties to the French court musical establishment, and interested in fireworks and alchemy.
