This is what our local Ballet Biography Reading Group has selected for discussion in January. Sadly, the author interviewed just four of the "five moons" -- Maria and Marjorie Tallchief, Rosella Hightower, and Yvonne Chouteau. For some reason not disclosed in this volume, Moscelyne Larkin did not wish to be included.

Discover what teachers and dancers from Alberta to Zagreb and many places in between have been enjoying!

Join us in 2026 as we explore material employed by Enrico Cecchetti when coaching the likes of Anna Pavlova, Vaslav Nijinsky, Serge Lifar and others.

(Note: This is neither an exam prep nor a certificate-based course. Come and explore the rationale and beauty of the exercises and patterns, for the purpose of enhancing your own teaching and/or performing.)
