Just as I was about to hang up my ballet slippers at seventy-one years of age. I read about Lauren's book in People Magazine. To me Raising the Barre, is the best D.I.Y. book for aging dancers ever written. Yes I enjoyed all the history, but mostly I enjoyed all the exercise tips to prepare a dancer for the overwhelming demands of class and rehearsals. I especially enjoyed the detailed explanation of the dancers belt. They never explained it in quite that way at my beginning ballet class. I started ballet at age sixty-seven. This is my third season dancing in the Nutcracker. My thanks to Lauren for giving voice to the challenges all Adult Class dancers face in an art dominated by fabulously fit twenty year olds.
I was a professional ballerina in NYC. I've directed many Nutcrackers since and I've heard her story many times from cast members. " I always wanted to do this and never thought I could." But Lauren captured so much with her skills of choosing the words and phrases that spoke as easily as our center allegro speaks to us. I marvel at her precise language. It took me back. I loved every moment.
An interesting book about an interesting quest. If you like ballet and enjoy humor and challenges, this is a good read. The author attempts a seemingly impossible feat -- to be in the cast of a professional production of The Nutcracker -- and, even though she hasn't been in a ballet class since she was a kid, spends a year in furious ballet study and preparation.. The hope, of course, is not to be able to don toe shoes and tutu and be part of the snowflakes corps, but to simply participate in the production that she loves. In the process, she finds out what drives a ballet dancer, what goes into the serious training, why a certain body type is a requirement, and the less-than-glamorous aspects of training and touring -- and she does it with humor and grace. She has a wonderful writing style that keeps one reading and wanting to find out how her adventure turns out . My past includes studying and performing as a dancer, so I was especially intrigued, and wondered how on earth this middle-aged non-dancer was going to prepare herself to perform with a ballet company. Good book. I recommend it, especially if you want to learn more about the world of professional dance.
So enjoying reading Lauren Kessler's book, Raising the Barre! I love how readable the book is, like having a conversation with your best friend. I am enjoying the historical background about ballet, ballet stars, coaches, troupes, and ballet companies. I love reading about someone who immerses themselves into a topic and Lauren does not disappoint - I've learned more about ballet reading her book than I have learned about ballet in my lifetime! A wonderful step into her experience.
There is one word for this book: adorable. From a literary point of view the writer is witty, unpredictable and totally engaging. As a story line, the tale is heartwarming and very moving. Of course it is difficult to imagine that Lauren Kessler would have been given such a glorious opportunity to participate in The Nutcracker had the company been of the status of one of the major companies in America (in fact it is rather shocking that even in Oregon she got that opportunity given the fact that she is not a "real" dancer); be that as it may, her success in reaching her goal and the fact that she did appear in the performances is mind boggling. Her insights into the world of dance, for the good and the bad, are so interesting and right on the head, her love and passion for dance, her understanding of dance, all make the book so worth while reading. However, above and beyond all of this is the writer's total honesty, her humbleness and yet her optimistic determination is so heart rendering. When one finishes the book you must say:Chapeau!! It is a beautiful ending of a beautiful experience. As a book it is a much better read of the ballet world than the movie, The Black Swan ever was!!
I just finished this book and LOVED it. I am a 54-yr-old adult returning to ballet after 30 years and I loved this book. It is real, funny, inspiring, very honest, with great advice. I have no ambitions to go back on pointe or to perform, but this book inspired me and I'm enrolled in classes starting next month! After enjoying this book so much, I did some internet searching and found some other great books by Dr. Kessler, some fantastic interviews, and her blog -- it is awesome and contains great information. I am now reading "Turning Back the Clock." I recommend this book to all women 45+ who are contemplating an adventure, change, risk ... doing whatever it is you know you want to do but are afraid to make that final leap (or should I say... that final grande jete?)
Awesome book. I'm an older dancer (in my 50s) and this was exactly what I was looking for. I could identify with everything she wrote about. I take ballet classes, but with grade school to high school students because that's all that's offered in my area. Luckily the owners of the dance school I go to are very open minded and encourage me every step of the way. I highly recommend this book to any older dancer or anyone who is considering going back to dance later in life. It's a testament to those of us who like to prove others wrong that we're too old, too heavy, etc, do dance ballet and go en pointe!! We can and we are!!!
it was a difficult read full of repetitive verbiage. So much could have been omitted without compromising the overall story. It was a nicer view of the behind-the scenes ballet world. I'm so used to reading about the nastiness of the ballet world, that this was refreshing. It actually told of good dancers... helpful and considerate. In that respect, this book was refreshing and atypical.
