Leotard. The Story of Jazz Ballet Rodney - Paperback

by Sally Faverot De Kerbrech (Author), Mary Ross (Author)

Leotard is an on- and off-stage story of dramas in an international ballet company. Set in the swinging sixties, it is a rollickingly funny tale of loyalty and friendship. Based on letters written home by two young dancers, Sally and Mary, Leotard is entertaining, effervescent, yet at times, poignant and heartbreaking. The dancing moves from the theatres and opera houses of Europe to casinos in Cannes, Cairo, and Teheran.
