Nicole Cuffy, DANCES

Zibby speaks to debut author Nicole Cuffy about Dances, a spellbinding new book about a Black ballerina who is promoted to the top tier of her ballet company and, while navigating her sudden propulsion into fame, becomes consumed with finding her missing brother. Nicole describes her love of ballet, every step of her writing process (she’s a meticulous researcher and planner), and the first novel she wrote that never made it out into the world. She also speaks openly about her eating disorder, sharing how it has evolved over time (and through her pregnancy) and manifested itself in her book about ballet–a dance that puts bodies into hyperfocus.
