Danseuse #3

The third volume of Alwett and Bietolini's Danseuse series arrives with a cover that captures the grace and intensity of ballet training beautifully — a young dancer in a pink leotard and flowing white skirt holds a breathtaking arabesque at center stage, while fellow students rehearse at the barre and a male instructor looks on in a sun-warmed studio. Subtitled Le bal des chipies, this 2012 Soleil release promises the kind of drama and rivalry that simmers just beneath the elegance of the dance world.
