Description: VISUALLY STUNNING, and charged with the energy of young dancers, this photographic book takes readers on a tour of a unique place -- Ballet Tech, the first public school for ballet. Here a youthful, urban sensibility is fused with classical art, creating ballet with a new look and a new accessibility. Thousands of New York City kids have learned to dance, free of charge, at Ballet Tech. Many have even become professional dancers. Their experiences -- conveyed in stories, quotes, and gorgeous photographs -- will capture the interest of anyone who loves dance. . . and anyone who thinks that ballet means fluffy pink tutus! Kids Dance shows a new kind of ballet, as danced by kids from every background. This book, like the school, hopes to introduce a whole new audience to the excitement, beauty, and power of ballet.
