In this memoir of a roller coaster career on the New York stage, former actor and dancer Bettijane Sills offers a highly personal look at the art and practice of George Balanchine, one of ballet's greatest choreographers, and the inner workings of his world-renowned company during its golden years. After getting her start on the stage as a child actor on Broadway, Bettijane Sills joined the New York City Ballet in 1961 as a member of the corps de ballet, working her way up to the level of soloist. As a company dancer who remained outside the spotlight that the principals enjoyed, Sills experienced a side of the company that prima ballerinas did not share in. She tells stories of taking class with Balanchine, dancing in the original casts of some of his most iconic productions, and working with some of the company's most famous dancers. Winningly honest and intimate, Sills lets readers in on the secrets of a world that most people have never seen firsthand. She reveals mistakes she made, the unglamorous parts of tour life, jealousy among company members, and Balanchine's complex relationships with women. She talks about Balanchine's insistence on thinness in his dancers and how her own struggles with weight ended her dancing career. Now a professor of dance who has educated thousands of students on Balanchine's style and legacy, Sills reflects on the highs and lows of a career indelibly influenced by the bright lights of theater and by the man who shaped American ballet.Binding Type: Paperback

A Stylish and Functional Addition to My Décor!
Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: Gray 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I recently purchased the ZHEM Valet Tray for Men in Dark Gray, and I couldn't be happier with this product. It's become an indispensable part of my daily routine and home décor.
The design and craftsmanship of this tray are outstanding. The dark gray color is elegant and complements my furniture perfectly. It's not just a valet tray; it's also a decorative piece that adds a touch of sophistication to my nightstand and dresser.
The size (8x8x1.75 inches) is ideal for holding my daily essentials like my watch, perfume, keys, and even napkins. I appreciate the versatility - it serves as a decorative piece, an organizer, and a functional tray all in one!
The quality is top-notch, and it feels sturdy and well-made. It's also easy to clean, which is a big plus.
Overall, the Tray has exceeded my expectations. It's a stylish and functional addition to my décor, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and attractive tray for their home. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super cute landing space for keys
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I always have trouble finding my keys and so it’s been very helpful to have a dedicated spot to easily throw them in when I get home. At first I thought it would be too big but it’s the perfect size for two wallets and keys, and it’s good quality albeit a bit expensive. The gold isn’t too shiny either, it’s a nice touch and it really reduces the look of clutter on your surfaces and helps it look more organized. It also doesn’t slip around.
