Off Balance: The Real World of Ballet de Suzanne Gordon
a bit dated, but very real behind the scenes look at ballet, the dancers, the moms, and the injuries. This was a quick read, but I liked it.
A book about colonial architecture in the Eastern Caribbean. It contains a chapter on St. Martin that features many of the island's classic buildings.
Interesting book. There is very little impressive architecture or even ruins in the Eastern Caribbean, and this book makes the most of what there is.
I had only read one book about ballet and all about how difficult it is to be a dancer before reading Off Balance. Off Balance was pretty much the same theme. I found the entire book to be well written but extremely depressing. Having no experience with the world of ballet I had to take Gordon's word for it. Dancers are unhealthy, prone to injury, anorexia, and mental issues; they are socially stunted and obsessed with pleasing their teachers. Dancers don't have formal educations, family lives, or productive interests outside of dance. The family of a dancer makes sacrifices above and beyond normal expectations. Dancers earn woefully little and they don't get vacation pay. Workloads are exhausting yet they can get fired at a moments notice. The entire book is like this. Open any page and you will find something negative about the world of ballet.… (mais)
