> Hi Kara. Well, there are two that are among my favorites. Unfortunately, I think the first one I'm going to mention might be out of print, but it's worth trying to find. The title is "JOYS AND SORROWS: REFLECTIONS" by Albert E. Kahn. It is a biography of the cellist, Pablo Casals.

This book was written by Suzanne Farrell with Toni Bentley, who also danced with the New York City Ballet during Balanchine's reign.

They both sound great. I've added them to the list. THANK YOU!!!
