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?

Download or read book Bolshoi Confidential Secrets of the Russian Ballet from the Rule of the Tsars to Today written by Simon Morrison and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “incredibly rich” (New York Times) definitive history of the Bolshoi Ballet, visionary performances onstage compete with political machinations backstage. A critical triumph, Simon Morrison’s “sweeping and authoritative” (Guardian) work, Bolshoi Confidential, details the Bolshoi Ballet’s magnificent history from its earliest tumults to recent scandals. On January 17, 2013, a hooded assailant hurled acid into the face of the artistic director, making international headlines. A lead soloist, enraged by institutional power struggles, later confessed to masterminding the crime. Morrison gives the shocking violence context, describing the ballet as a crucible of art and politics beginning with the disreputable inception of the theater in 1776, through the era of imperial rule, the chaos of revolution, the oppressive Soviet years, and the Bolshoi’s recent $680 million renovation. With vibrant detail including “sex scandals, double-suicide pacts, bribery, arson, executions, prostitution rings, embezzlement, starving orphans, [and] dead cats in lieu of flowers” (New Republic), Morrison makes clear that the history of the Bolshoi Ballet mirrors that of Russia itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is just four weeks until the annual ballet recital for the Ashton Ballet Academy and things are not going well for the ballerinas. The prima dancer, Elizabeth, has just had a major injury and is out for the season. Tall, slender Amy Small is catapulted into the lead ballerina role as Odette in the ballet, Swan Lake. She is not prepared for the part and is no Elizabeth! Yet, she is the best dancer the troupe has left. Gutsy, emotional, dedicated Molly, a high school senior, is chosen by Miss Sylvie, the ballet academy instructor, to dance Odile, the Black Swan, a part Amy dearly wants to perform as well. Unfortunately, Molly doesn't dance so well but she commits her all to perform Odile as her last hurrah. Miss Sylvie, a wonderful 50-something instructor is over heard telling a parent, “It was either Molly or me. Whom would you have chosen?” Compounding the challenges, the troupe has been invited to perform for the 100th anniversary of the Ashton Normal School. Normally this might not be such a big deal, but the Small girls are the great-granddaughters of Benjamin Small, the founder and first headmaster of the historic school, now the University of Ashton. Furthermore, the stage in the performing arts center of the normal school, where the original dedication took place and where everyone has anticipated the centennial performances would be given, is in such poor shape that Miss Sylvie has declared the troupe absolutely cannot use it in its current condition.Mary Small, who is still in middle school, is Amy's younger cousin, our heroine, and also a ballerina. Mary is devastated by the turn of events but in true Mary Small fashion “grabs the bull by the horns and runs with it.” A new ballerina appears “out of nowhere” during these trying times. Nonni, as they call her, has secrets of her own.
