Book Description
This book tells the stories of five of the most well-loved, world famous ballets. It will appeal to lots of children, but especially kids who are interested in ballet and dance, singing, acting, ice skating, or any kind of performing arts. As well as to parents who might want to introduce their child to the cultural and traditional performing arts. These ballet stories are lovely, magical bedtime, or anytime stories for kids, especially if they are interested in ballet, dance, theater and performance, and if they might like to go and see a live ballet. Because ballets have no words, and only use dance music and mime to convey what's happening, without knowing the story beforehand, anyone can become completely lost. So your child will already know the plot of these very famous world famous ballets from these short stories, if they ever watch one online or go to see one of them live (and so will you if you like). Every ballet performance is a different artistic interpretation. We have based these children's stories on the basic and agreed-upon general plots of all these five ballets. Lots of ballets contain tragedy or violence, negative role-modeling, and themes and subjects not suitable for children. So the ballets in these children's short stories are chosen as some of the best ones for children, that they are most likely to love and enjoy. A unique storybook that they will love and that will give them a long term educational life gift as well as entertain. Treat your child to these magical, world famous, classical ballet stories. You can download this ebook, or any of the individual ebook stories, or buy the paperback book version for a gift, which is available for sale worldwide, at all good bookstores and online marketplaces, and should be alongside our other books.

I Was a Dancer
Author: Jacques D'Amboise
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307595234
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
“Who am I? I’m a man; an American, a father, a teacher, but most of all, I am a person who knows how the arts can change lives, because they transformed mine. I was a dancer.” In this rich, expansive, spirited memoir, Jacques d’Amboise, one of America’s most celebrated classical dancers, and former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet for more than three decades, tells the extraordinary story of his life in dance, and of America’s most renowned and admired dance companies. He writes of his classical studies beginning at the age of eight at The School of American Ballet. At twelve he was asked to perform with Ballet Society; three years later he joined the New York City Ballet and made his European debut at London’s Covent Garden. As George Balanchine’s protégé, d’Amboise had more works choreographed on him by “the supreme Ballet Master” than any other dancer, among them Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux; Episodes; A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream; Jewels; Raymonda Variations. He writes of his boyhood—born Joseph Ahearn—in Dedham, Massachusetts; his mother (“the Boss”) moving the family to New York City’s Washington Heights; dragging her son and daughter to ballet class (paying the teacher $7.50 from hats she made and sold on street corners, and with chickens she cooked stuffed with chestnuts); his mother changing the family name from Ahearn to her maiden name, d’Amboise (“It’s aristocratic. It has the ‘d’ apostrophe. It sounds better for the ballet, and it’s a better name”). We see him. a neighborhood tough, in Catholic schools being taught by the nuns; on the streets, fighting with neighborhood gangs, and taking ten classes a week at the School of American Ballet . . . being taught professional class by Balanchine and by other teachers of great legend: Anatole Oboukhoff, premier danseur of the Maryinsky; and Pierre Vladimiroff, Pavlova’s partner. D’Amboise writes about Balanchine’s succession of ballerina muses who inspired him to near-obsessive passion and led him to create extraordinary ballets, dancers with whom d’Amboise partnered—Maria Tallchief; Tanaquil LeClercq, a stick-skinny teenager who blossomed into an exquisite, witty, sophisticated “angel” with her “long limbs and dramatic, mysterious elegance . . .”; the iridescent Allegra Kent; Melissa Hayden; Suzanne Farrell, who Balanchine called his “alabaster princess,” her every fiber, every movement imbued with passion and energy; Kay Mazzo; Kyra Nichols (“She’s perfect,” Balanchine said. “Uncomplicated—like fresh water”); and Karin von Aroldingen, to whom Balanchine left most of his ballets. D’Amboise writes about dancing with and courting one of the company’s members, who became his wife for fifty-three years, and the four children they had . . . On going to Hollywood to make Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and being offered a long-term contract at MGM (“If you’re not careful,” Balanchine warned, “you will have sold your soul for seven years”) . . . On Jerome Robbins (“Jerry could be charming and complimentary, and then, five minutes later, attack, and crush your spirit—all to see how it would influence the dance movements”). D’Amboise writes of the moment when he realizes his dancing career is over and he begins a new life and new dream teaching children all over the world about the arts through the magic of dance. A riveting, magical book, as transformative as dancing itself.
