5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, wise and whimsical dancer's candid biography, 15 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Ms. Kent is brilliant, playful and constantly explores the internal and external worlds in which she lives. This was evident in her dancing, and it's evident in her writing. At times, it is almost too painful to read her candid accounts of her own self-doubts, fears and hardships, but she leavens them with such humor and whimsical philosophy that you end up smiling through your tears. This book, unlike many books written by dancers, explores not only Ms. Kent's evolution as an artist, but also as a woman. I'd recommend it to all who have an interest in learning to live their lives to the fullest.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very insparational book, 19 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Once a Dancer: An Autobiography (Paperback)
I was such a great book to read. I've read it twice so far. Sometimes when I didn't really want to dance I read a few pages of the book and it inspired me to go out and try as hard as I could. I am not much of a autobiography person, but this book was so enyoyable. I think I will continue to read ot over and over.
