I was first drawn to ballet around 8 years ago and never imagined that it would evolve from just another hobby to something that would serve as a tool of self expression. Last year, when the lockdown struck, I was left feeling listless because I couldn’t attend classes. Undeterred, I began watching ballet-centered movies ranging from documentaries like A Ballerina’s Tale to a drama series, The Dance Academy. It didn’t take me too long to start noticing certain similarities between my ballet journey and those of the characters. Soon enough, I found myself penning down all of those stories - my ballet stories intertwined with anecdotes from the films I had seen.   This process resulted in a short book of seven chapters centered around all that ballet has to offer beyond the actual steps. I hope that these lessons and anecdotes inspire you to not just learn ballet but also to keep you focused on your goal no matter how hard or distant it might seem.

  • Unworking Choreography
    Frederic Pouillaude
    There is no archive or museum of human movement, no place where choreographies can be collected and conserved in pristine form. The central consequence of this is the incapacity of philosophy and aesthetics to think of dance as a positive and empirical art. In the eyes of philosophers, dance refers to a space other than art, considered both more frivolous and more fundamental t...

Dancing Jewish delineates this rich history, d...
