Alice Robb, DON'T THINK, DEAR: On Love and Leaving Ballet

Zibby interviews author Alice Robb about Don’t Think Dear: On Loving and Leaving Ballet, a profound and passionately-researched interrogation of the ballet world, inspired by the grueling years she spent at the most elite ballet school in the country. Alice describes what it was like to dedicate her childhood and adolescence to dance, her former and current challenges with body image, and her views on patriarchy in ballet culture. She also talks about how wonderful it was reconnecting with old classmates and including their stories in her memoir. Finally, she shares her best advice for aspiring authors.
