"Male Dancing is the first book of its kind to be written especially for young male dancers, and as such should prove invaluable. Here the young dancer will find all the information he requires whether his speciality is ballet, contemporary or jazz. Those who wish to dance purely for pleasure, and not as a career, are also considered.
Advice is given on how to apply to dance schools for grants. Career prospects are discussed both in this country and abroad, and Richard Glasstone suggests various careers which are open to a dancer once his active dancing life is over." -- Book jacket
