Celestial Bodies

In this audiobook, the author sets out to convince listeners that there's more to ballet than first meets the eye. It's not a compilation of tips on on how to watch ballet--it's an all-encompassing primer on dance that will enlighten novices and ballet enthusiasts alike. Narrator Tiffany Morgan is the perfect pairing for this listen. Her friendly but scholarly sounding style gives listeners the feeling of a best friend who is expounding on her favorite topic. The illustrations and photos in the print edition that elucidate some of the most important points are obviously lacking in this audiobook. However, listeners who are familiar with ballet should be able to follow along with ease and enjoy this peek behind the curtain. K.J.P. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
