Ballet Dancers in Career Transition: Sixteen Success Stories » (New Edition)

Upper, an arts marketing consultant and former ballet dancer, interviews former ballet dancers to offer insight on making the transition to a new career after the peak years have passed. The interviews reveal the experiences of dancers who remained in ballet- related careers, dancers who chose careers outside of dance, and dancers who pursued careers working with dancers and other performing artists. Appendices list transition resources and marketable skills dancers develop as a result of their training. B&w performance and publicity photos suffer from poor reproduction quality.
