    Anatomy of a Star- studded dance.

    After a 50+year long career as a choreographer/director/ballet master & principal dancer, working with leading, legendary artists in dance/opera/theater/film industry, it’s time to write (the truth and nothing but…) of a world that tells fairy-tales, creates beauty and often awareness through the many artists (like myself) who are more than often abused when the goal is the big career. This author didn’t oblige and that journey is an intense and colorful one, crossing bridges of polite refusal to the private and secretive meetings required to reach the top. I will say better topless, because as perfection, happiness is an illusion if based on superficial, (even) well-marketed or privately bought fame. (here is last year’s announcement of the journalistic, personal and unique novel being written as we speak. Looking for investors and possible lovers of the arts (all) to help produce this special work of truth as a book, a TV-series, a film! Thanks
