Lots of kids enjoy dancing, but what motivates them to push past the sore muscles, early-morning technique classes, and crazy schedule required to become a professional dancer? In this book, dancers from many backgrounds talk about their different paths to success in ballet, modern, jazz, Broadway, and hip-hop.
They also share advice and helpful tips, such as: • practice interpreting the music and the mood of a movement, even when you're doing a standard warm-up exercise • try to be in the front row at auditions so you can see what's going on and so the judges know you're eager to be seen
