I love reading anytime I have some spare time. There’s nothing better than having a book between the hands and a warm blanket on top.
Actually, there is something better: having a good ballet book! If you enjoy reading too, here’s a collection of dancers’ biographies that you’ll love.
Natalia Makarova &#; A dance autobiography (by Natalia Makarova)
Natalia Makarova has been one of my greatest influences and role models, not only for her dancing, but especially for her personality.

In her autobiography, filled with beautiful pictures, Makarova begins with her childhood in Russia and takes us up to the peaks of her career as a ballerina. She extensively talks about the spirituality and intellectuality of dance, about her difficulties and personal opinions.
A very inspiring story for any dancer.
“To execute a step and to dance a step. The opposition of these two concepts contains the entire history of the classical dance”Natalia Makarova
