Toba Singer's Author Overview of Book "First Position"

Book First Position Releases August 30, 2007!

I am delighted to announce the release of my new book First Position: A Century of Ballet Artists.

First Position profiles dancers who represent the pinnacle of their art over the last century. I polled literally scores of dance critics, dance teachers, professors, and active and retired professional dancers to create a list that represents the best of the various styles of ballet from the last hundred years.
