Have you ever danced or wanted to dance ballet?

I always thought being a ballerina would be so magical and beautiful! I had no idea there are missing toenails, bruises, scrapes and broken toes under those beautiful ballet slippers.

Thank you @stmartinspress for this beautiful book! I’ll add the link to when we opened this box! I thought this was going to be a lovely story about ballerinas, it’s more of a thriller.

The Ballerinas by Rachel Kapelke-Dale is about friendship and gives fascinating insight to the world of ballet. I now realize I would never have cut it as a ballerina, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story! If you’ve ever watched ballet or wondered about these talented people, you’re going to want to read this!
