The Joffrey Ballet School's Ballet-Fit

21 reviews
Allison Kyle Leopold, Dena Moss

St. Martin's Griffin, 1999

Wow!
This book was amazing! I read the entire book before deciding to take an adult ballet class and this book was dead on. It helped clarify everything from what to wear, to how the class would be formatted. I felt so at ease when I walked into my first class and saw the age range of the students - there were young 20-somethings all the way to a lady in her 50's - and there was even a guy in our ...

Stomp your feet!!!
What a treat to buy this for a friend's baby. My youngest child LOVED this book because as others have pointed out, it is fantastic! Just reading the words results in a great rhyme and makes you dance. You can't help it. Babies love it, toddlers love it, and parents love to read it, even the 4,999th time. It makes everyone smile. We wore the cover off and had to buy multiple copies. What a great ...

Giraffes Can't Dance

Scholastic, 2005

Wonderful story!
I wish I could give this book more stars! Not only is this my 3 year old's favorite book, but mine as well! It teaches children that just because someone is different doesn't mean they are any less special than anyone else and that they can't do something as well. Wonderful book that teaches important values in life!

Dancing the Dream: The Seven Sacred Paths of Human Transformation

Jamie Sams

HarperOne, 1998

"I have endeavored to draw the map of consciousness that applies to every person on every path:" from the Author's note .
I believe this statement reflects Jamie's chief goal for this book: this statement is listed in the authors note, preceeding the text. I don't think it is possible to draw a universal map of consciousness applicable to all humans. The chief reason being is that some folks never get past the 1st commandment let alone rise to metaphysical heights described in the text. Further, unless the reader ...

Dancing with Rose

Viking, 2007

Very Helpful Book
After much deliberation, praying and consideration, my brothers and I recently moved my mother, who is in the late stages of Alzheimers, away from her home of 39 years to an Alzheimers facility. The anticipation was so much worse than the actual move. My mother has never looked back, and loves the facility because of her interaction with others. Lauren's book really opened my eyes, and I ...

While Hilary is a very talented dancer, she wants nothing more than to have fun. Her sister, Rachel wants nothing to do with dancing, but she does want Hilary to go to the Royal Ballet School to study ...

Absolutely Beautiful!!!
This book is truly amazing and has so much insight on different things. You see Michael in a completely different light. It was almost like it was written directly for me. It had everything that i needed/wanted to hear, especially about trust and courage and even about the love of God. It was like it was direct advice to me personally. I like this book so much that i think anybody would enjoy it. ...

Fantastic new fairytale for everyone to enjoy!
This is such a delightful tale! It entertains, teaches us all something, and has wonderful illustration! Mr. Gorfien is truly a terrific new talent.

William Morrow & Co Library, 1989

This is not Barbie!
I was familar with this book as a child and bought it for my 7 year old daughter. It took he a moment to wrap her mind around it not being Barbie-related but once we read it and she got lost in the incredible artwork there was no going back. This is a keeper to pass down. The story is dear but the artwork is what gets you talking with your child. Every adult at her party was looking through it ...

Sun Dancing: A Spiritual Journey on the Red Road

Michael Hull

Inner Traditions, 2000

A Spiritual Journey
Excellent reading from an educational or spiritual point of view. The clear language, content, and message helped me to look at myself from a new point of view. Michael's use of humor drew me in. His journey is that of a true human being. A look at recovery and healing through practice of Sacred Lakota ceremony. Truly an inspiration.

Marilyn Mitchell

Johnson Books, 2002

Real love with clothes on. . .
Dancing on Quicksand was an incredibly inspirational book. Reading it has made me want to be a better person, listen more carefully, to love others unconditionally, to work harder at loving others where they are. In a culture where we want to get rid of anything difficult, it was refreshing to see what Marilyn Mitchell gained by sticking with David and loving him through his illness. Although ...

Frankie Manning: Ambassador of Lindy Hop

Frankie Manning, Cynthia Millman

Temple University Press, 2007

One and a two you know what to do! Get this Book!!
Like all the reviewers here have said, Mannnig is a wonder, a joy, a world treasure. His role in the primary American cultural movement of the 20th century, popular Jazz of the 1930's and 40's, is still yet to be fully appreciated, this book will hopefully go far towards that end. As the leader of Whitey's Lindy Hopper (as has been said by author Millman, his title would be that of Artistic ...

Chero'ne

1st Books Library, 2002

Truly a Remarkable Book and Author!
I read this book in one setting, and LOVED it! One can say God is with Cherone because of the way she writes and everything she has gone through. Amazing!! I met Cherone at a book signing, and then some time later I saw her in a restaurant. A more humble, loving, caring person you would never want to meet. She acted like I was doing her a favor by interrupting her meal! Both of her missives, ...

Robert Hodgson Van Wagoner

Signature Books, 1999

Great new novel
Rob Van Wagoner is an artist. He is a master of his craft, and with this novel he has painted a painful, dense picture of human failings. Some of the past reviews have mentioned that one must be LDS or know a homosexual to appreciate this novel, and I need to dispel that myth. This book, like all great literature, uses these ideas as a backdrop to explore deeper themes that include isolation, ...

Glenna Halvorson-Boyd, Lisa K. Hunter

Jossey-Bass, 1995

A great guide to life after cancer
I'm finding lots of answers to the many questions I have after finishing chemo for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Even family members would find this book helpful too. It's reassuring, honest and comforting reading about getting back to "life" after such a life changing event.
