A must have for dancers of any level......,
By Amanda J Kline (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dancer's Manual: A Motivational Guide to Professional Dancing (Paperback)
This is the most comprehensive, educational, practical, inspirational and motivational book I have ever found. It is full of quotes that can be applied to everyday life as well as the world of dance. Bobby Boling unlocks the mysteries that seem to be a part of the dancers world. He takes you through auditions and classes as well as other areas, and tells you exactly what you can expect. I am a dance teacher myself, I have purchased many copies to be shared among my students. They too, have found it encouraging and inspirational. It is so refreshing to have a once professional, turned teacher, dancer, share the story of how it works in a very easy to read and interesting book. He speaks from the heart and tells you straight up how it is. So many times I have picked up a book on dance to try and learn more about the opportunities out there and how to make it, only to put it down feeling intimidated and hopeless. A Dancer's Manual is truly a first.I only wish the inspiration had been there for me when it was my time on Broadway! Thank you Bobby Boling for taking the time to write such a fantastic book, I am grateful that I have this to share with my students.If you want to dance professionally or just dance like a professional,and be the best that you can be then this is the book for you.There are dozens of useful tips that he reveals.I have applied many of the techniques with my students and they look and perform better than ever. They are once great dancers turned performers, because of the techniques he lists. sincerely
