After the intensive reading I did during my trip, I took delight in leafing through a couple of text-light dance books that featured mostly photographs...In Royal Ballet: 161 Images (above), former principal dancer Johan Personn snapped black and white pics of fellow dancers, in rehearsal, in class or in the wings of theaters. With tender admiration, he captures the intensity, the concentration and the grueling work that ballet demands.
John Fraser's Private View: Inside Baryshnikov's American Ballet Theatre features beautiful pics of a young Mikhail Baryshnikov, often with the members, both dancers and non dancers, of the company he directed - including his dog Tim, who seemed to have his own personal spot in every studio at ABT...Like Personn, I'm guessing Baryshnikov has a taste for photography, as he is publishing a book of his own pictures celebrating the great Merce Cunningham - who died this summer, much to the dance community's chagrin. On the occasion of the book launch, the dancer America has taken to calling Misha will be signing copies in Santa Monica in a couple of weeks... I'm wondering whether or not I should go...

Oh, I wouldn't miss an opportunity of seeing Baryshnikov in person! I vote Yes, you should go- but make sure you're in line early ...
Wondering whether or not you should go????
I'd go - the opportunity to see him may never come again!
must be nice books to look at...YOU have to go!!!
I see you're unanimous...
Go!!!
Yes, you must go. He is absolutely charming in person. A friend was his personal assistant for many years & her late kitty was named Misha. Something that MB took very well.
I was a complete nobody in the ballet world but knew lots of people in it. When they would come to DC, I was shy about going to events, rehearsals, etc. Even though I was invited. That darling man made me feel most welcome & invited me personally. How could I NOT go then? I did & am so glad. When he defected, I was living in France & had the international Newsweek photos of him on my tiny room's walls. Little did I know then...
Go go go

what a lovely inside peek into the dance world. gorgeous.
I have been told he's performing the same evening in Santa MOnica.
How could you NOT go? Take photos. Lots and lots.
I adore you even more for your love of War and Peace. And now I have a hankering for some Colette goodness. Thanks, as ever, for the inspiration.
Gosh! Go!! What an utter legend that man is!!
I wish you health and happiness every day!

We share so many books - I love that 161 Images one.
You must go and have him sign your book. He is not only a beautiful dancer and man, but an intimate link to Merce Cunningham.
I am in love with mikhail!!
Ooooh you have so many wonderful posts... I could comment on all of them! Then I saw the photo of Baryshnikov... ooh la la... that is a FAB one of him!!! I could be happy eating a cupcake or a slice of toast with your mother's preserves while looking at him!!! YUMMY! DELICIOUS!!!
ENJOY!

Hi,
There are an amazing number of dance books available on the market today. For those who already love to dance, dance books can serve as an introduction to a greater variety of dances. Through dance books over time, non-dancers will realize that dancing is nothing to be feared; the only objective is to enjoy themselves.
