Customer Reviews

A MUST read for anyone interested in Dancing on Broadway.

Tina Paul a broadway dancer and veteran of many shows does a remarkable job of laying out the facts on what it takes to live in New York City and land a job on the great white way. I found this book to be extremely informative to all aspring dancers and enjoyed her comic flair in talking about getting used to living in NYC and the competitive world of broadway auditions. In the book she has assembled the advice from other well known broadway dancers and choreographers Chita Rivera, Tommy Tune, JoAnn Hunter, Graciela Daniels, Bebe Neuwirth, Luis Perez ( her husband ) among others in which I found to be very insightful on there experiences in starting out and making a career on broadway. My only dissapointment is that she did not include Nancy Lemenager who's broadway credits include the leads in Movin Out and Never Gonna Dance and who has become one of the Hottest broadway dancers out there.
