Summary: "Maria Fay demystifies many aspects of dance practice and career patterns for dancers themselves and for their families, and raises many unexplored and interesting questions for general discussion and for teachers to ponder over. She deals with the central issues of dancers' self-confidence and the treatment of dancers by teachers, audition panels and stage management, and also gives attention to anorexia, tense muscles and diet. Family problems, misunderstood instructions and requirements, and general anxiety all play their part."
