Books About Dance

For as long as I've been writing a book about dancers, I've wanted to read more books about dance. Reading more polished material makes me want to keep going when I can't come up with the right words. My work-in-progress is in the rough, rough opening stages.

I have been dancing ballet, modern, and jazz for a long time. Books about dance help me connect to the version of myself who spent a lot of time in the studio as a child. Even though I don't currently perform or take technique classes, they help me feel like I'm still part of that person. People who like to dance: They will make you want to dance as you turn the pages of these nine works of fiction.

Swing time by Zadie Smith

Swing Time is a beautiful film about family, history, and friendship between young girls. Another thing that makes this movie so good is how it shows what it's like to grow up as a dancer, how it makes you want to be like them, and how much you love dancing. There are two girls in the book: Tracy and an unnamed narrator. Their relationship changes over time, and the two of them are shown in the book. First, I couldn't put it down, and I've been eager to read it again ever since.

Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra

The blurb says this is "Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars," which sounds like the perfect setting for a good book. June, Bette, and Gigi are all dancers at a top ballet school in New York City. This series follows them as they try to be the best. If you like it, there's a sequel called Shiny Broken Things that goes on with the same story.
