And They Danced on

AND THEY DANCED ON is a unique educational, entertaining, artistic, & beautifully illustrated book. Its layout is stunning: over seventy internationally famous celebrities, primarily dancers, contributed their stories. The long list of artists includes Ruth Page, Luigi, Patricia McBride, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Violette Verdy, Natalia Makarova, Frank Hatchett, & Fernando Bujones. The book has already received many laurels: "You wouldn't think that anyone could build an entire book around the accidents, near-disasters, & unexpected happenings that plague dancers before, during & after performances, not to mention how they overcome them..."--BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE. "This delightful coffee table book contains...the silly moments that would have been kept as quiet secrets."--the late William Como, Editor-in-Chief, DANCE MAGAZINE. "What fun insights into some of our most dedicated artists & the realistics of the Theatre."--Kathryn A. Wheeler, Editor-in-Chief, PRIMA BALLERINA. "...I find it so interesting, all the wild things that have happened to all of us. I am so happy to be part of it."--Freddy Franklin. "...the book reveals a side of ballet where ripped tutus & forgotten dance steps are as much a part of reality as graceful pirouettes & grand jetes."--Sharon Thatcher, in the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL. AND THEY DANCED ON is truly entertaining & is a delightful book to own.Karkar, Waltraud G. is the author of 'And They Danced on' with ISBN 9780962460906 and ISBN 0962460907.
