This was a quick read, but I liked it. ( ) I had only read one book about ballet and all about how difficult it is to be a dancer before reading Off Balance. Off Balance was pretty much the same theme. I found the entire book to be well written but extremely depressing. Having no experience with the world of ballet I had to take Gordon's word for it. Dancers are unhealthy, prone to injury, anorexia, and mental issues; they are socially stunted and obsessed with pleasing their teachers. Dancers don't have formal educations, family lives, or productive interests outside of dance. The family of a dancer makes sacrifices above and beyond normal expectations. Dancers earn woefully little and they don't get vacation pay. Workloads are exhausting yet they can get fired at a moments notice. The entire book is like this. Open any page and you will find something negative about the world of ballet. Scary, but all too true! Though I do think (hope) things are somewhat better now than when this book first came out. The very fact that the NYC ballet now has a wellness consultant is one very positive sign-and I do believe many more dancers and dance teachers are much more knowledgeable about anorexia nervosa and bulimia than they were in the 80's, but the competition is still very harsh. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
