I am reviewing a copy of Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage through Rebel Girls and Netgalley:
Alicia always felt she had been born to dance. From the moment she put on her pointe shoes for the first time it felt that was her place. She is determined to become a professional ballerina. A few years later, Alicia moves from Cuba to the United States to follow her dreams.
After Alicia begins to loose her sight, she wonders how she will dance she can’t see where she’s going. Stuck in bed and only able to practice with her fingertips, Alicia doesn’t give up. She finds a way to get back on stage, dancing into the hearts of audiences as one of the world’s most famous prima ballerinas.
In Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage readers are introduced to the story of a world-renowned prima ballerina who impressed people all over the world with her beautiful dancing while living with visual impairments. This is a story about perseverance in the face of adversity, and how the arts can afford women the opportunity to achieve a global impact.
I give Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
