      abstract = {"The Dancer Within is a collection of photographic  portraits and short essays based on confessional interviews  with forty dancers and entertainers, many of them world  famous. Well-known on the concert stage, Broadway, in  Hollywood musicals, and on television, the personalities  featured in this book speak with extraordinary candor about  all stages of the dancer's life - from their first dance  class to their signature performances and their days of  reflection on the artist's life. The Dancer Within reveals  how these artists triumphed, but also how they overcame  adversity, including self-doubt, injuries, and aging. Most  of all, this book is about the courage, commitment, love,  and passion of these performers in their quest for artistic  excellence. The reader will quickly realize that "the  dancer within" is a metaphor of the human spirit."--BOOK  JACKET.},
