Thinking of taking up ballet for the first time as an adult? Or perhaps you're wondering if you're too old to go back to ballet? Coming back to ballet as an adult has been a rather surprising, interesting and rewarding journey for me. The author shares her journey of learning to dance ballet as an adult, which she found was different and challenging in ways very different from when she had been a child. She had to overcome challenges in flexibility and coordination, amongst other things. In this book, she gently introduces ballet to the adult beginner: how to choose the right class, what to wear and what to expect. She also shows you how to progress effectively in ballet, such as eventually going en pointe, developing artistry, taking ballet examinations and much more.

After discovering sheet music from a long-lost production of Song of Solomon, novice dancer Colette Larsen is thrust into the elite world of professional ballet. Sparks fly when she meets James Brennan, the fun-loving soloist tasked with choreographing a new pas de deux to the music, but Colette is forced to watch from the sidelines as he rehearses with the company's prima ballerina. As Colette's relationship with James deepens, so does her need to find the purpose beneath her latent passion for dance-a purpose that manifests in new friendships, rediscovered talents, and in the pages of Song of Solomon. Humorous and heartfelt, this debut novel reveals a lighter side to ballet that resonates with dancers and non-dancers alike. Cantique's heroine is witty, whimsical, and highly relatable as she navigates love and dance in the midst of a quarter-life crisis. What readers are saying: "The novel is more than a simple love story... It's a journey of self-discovery and a tale that reminds us to pursue our passions... Cantique is suitable for a broad range of readers, young adult and up, dancers and non-dancers. Certainly many adult dancers, much like my own students, could see themselves in Colette's story." - Leigh Purtill, Dance Advantage "I don't think I've ever related more to a protagonist. Love the story, love the message, love the characters, love the writing. Love it all." - Hannah, Overland Park, KS "There were so many moments where the main character experiences or feels things that I have literally experienced or felt in my ballet journey... It just felt good to read this, and I think adult ballerinas in particular will find this very satisfying." - Jana Carson, Ballerinas by Night "The plot is unique, engaging, and extremely well structured... I found the overall story of Colette discovering the music and bringing it to life very compelling. A lovely mixture of art, history, and her self-discovery." - Megan Records, New Jersey "It's romantic and funny and moving... grounded in reality but still has a little bit of that fairytale that we are all looking for when we pick up a book." - Emilie B., Kansas City, MO
