Book description
Joy Womack made history in 2012 when she became the first American ballerina to sign a contract with the Bolshoi Ballet Theater in Moscow, Russia. It's a dream she left her home country for and spent years of training to achieve. But dancing in Moscow was not the Onion Dome and Tchaikovsky soundtrack fairy tale she'd hoped for. The Bolshoi and its school were filled with cutthroat competition, acts of violence, and coaches who encouraged obsessive devotion. They sent her on stage with broken bones, helped her forge immigration paperwork, and encouraged her to toe a dangerous political line - all for the privilege of dancing on one of the world's most storied stages. As Joy's career took off and she made a name for herself in the Russian ballet world, she had to face a hard choice. Despite her love for her adopted homeland and its world-famous theaters, she was aware of the growing dangers of a professional lifestyle descending into corruption. Her concerns grew stronger with the awareness of a possible war with Russia's neighbor, Ukraine. Joy spent three years dancing prima roles for the Kremlin Palace Theater and now lives in Paris with her husband, where she performs internationally and with the Paris Opera.
