A Life Well Danced: Maria Zybina’s Russian Heritage Her Legacy of Classical Ballet and Character Dance Across Europe by Jane Gall Spooner

 

Any fan of Russian ballet history will love this book, with its comprehensive accounts of important Russian ballet teachers and stars. I also enjoyed the gripping stories about the SOE in Czechoslovakia. However, there were so many characters in this book that it started to get a bit confusing. Also, although the story of Maria Zybina was so important and interesting, I felt that not enough focus was put on her when it was meant to be her biography. However, it's certainly worth reading, and an excellent reference book as well.

I received this ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
