Books: Dancing In Red Shoes Will Kill You

[seeker]

I just ordered this from Amazon. It sounds like a perfect read for my daughter.

I read this book and found it a wonderful book for anyone age 13 and up. Because of the relationship connotation, I might be hesitant to recommend it for younger ages. But there are a lot of great messages within the story.

Just wondering how the big chest in ballet ends in this book. I wouldn't want to have dd read this if it reinforces the idea that big chested girls can't make it in ballet.

oh - I don't want to give away the ending of the book, but have no fear about your dd's reaction to her breast size, no worries there as far as the book goes!

Greb, do you have a vested interest in Ballet Connections? I have to remind you that both Ballet Talk and Ballet Talk for Dancers have a policy against receiving advertising. Three highly symmetrical posts to this forum suggest advertising, and, I dare say, spam. I also find it disturbing to find that the Contact Us page on that site seems especially designed to capture e-mail addresses. I have to caution our members on this subject.
