Summary:
The Dancer Within is a collection of photographic portraits and short
essays based on confessional interviews with forty dancers and
entertainers, many of them world-famous. Well-known on the concert
stage, on Broadway, in Hollywood musicals, and on television, the
personalities featured in this book speak with extraordinary candor
about all stages of the dancer's life--from their first dance class
to their signature performances and their days of reflection on the
artist's life. The Dancer Within reveals how these artists triumphed,
but also how they overcame adversity, including self-doubt, injuries,
and aging. Most of all, this book is about the courage, commitment,
love, and passion of these performers in their quest for artistic
excellence. The reader will quickly realize that "the dancer within"
is a metaphor of the human spirit.
