The Bunhead Book Club

Service Description

The Bunhead Book Club is a vibrant community of adult dancers united by a passion for reading, a deep love for ballet, and a shared commitment to supporting one another's personal dance journeys through meaningful discussions and mutual encouragement. The club takes place on Instagram (via group chat), with a live meet-up on Zoom at the conclusion of each session. You will be added to the group chat upon registering, and the reading schedule will be posted in the chat prior to the start of each session. Each week (Mon-Fri) we read a section of the book, with questions posted every Saturday morning in the chat for discussion throughout the weekend. At the end of the session, there is a live Zoom gathering to discuss the entire book and socialize with fellow dancers. If this sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee 🙂) join us as we read Dance to the Piper, the memoir of legendary choreographer Agnes de Mille. With wit and self-deprecating humor, she writes candidly about starting ballet late and having the wrong body type to succeed... Then going on to change American dance anyway. Newsday called her "perhaps the best dancer ever to write and the best writer ever to dance," and any adult dancer who has ever doubted whether they belong in the studio will find a kindred spirit in these pages. To join the club, simply: (1) Book into the session (above) (2) Get your hands on copy of the book (Amazon Affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4iWNUH3) (3) You will receive an email & be added to the Instagram group chat!
