I Found thios book at the Library,  While searching for another book.  It is basically for anybody.  Its called,  "Striking a Balance,  Dancers talk about Dancing."  By Barbera Newman.  I Found it very interesting,  Though it is a old book,  It was written in th 70's.  The Dancers she interview include:
Felia Doubrovska
Serge Lifar
Igor Youskevitch
Merrill Ashley
Christine Sarry
Desmond Kelly
And More!  I Found it very interesting!!
That sounded alittle like an Advertisment!!!

"Striking a Balance" is a terrific book.  There's a second edition, available in paperback, with more interviews and an update on the dancers interviewed.

Yes,  That is the one I'm talking about,  I Believe.  It is the revised edition.

    I read the old book I think, and it was pretty interesting.  I think the new one sounds better though, because I felt the old one was...well, old and outdated.
