I enjoyed listening to this, and the title really boils down everything in the book. Tharp points out how important movement is as we age, and she shares some good anecdotes to clarify how not to become stagnant. ( )

Library Book... Uplifting and positive thoughts on ageing ( )

I have followed this legendary woman's career since I was a young girl. For years, I wanted to be a ballet dancer but discovered it when I was too old. However, the sheer joy and emotions that I felt watching it spoke to me. Discovering this book had me excited for a plethora of reasons. The first being that it was Twyla. The second because I could see into her mind of what makes her great.

I was unprepared for her to break it down with exercises and anecdotes of the reasons why these exercises were important. While some of them seemed pretty basic there were others that truly hit home. I think this resonated with me because I just turned 50 a month ago and my body is no longer as young as my mind wants it to be. It gave me something to think about.

I enjoyed the stories of many of my favorite people, especially Misha as he is my favorite dancer of all time. I can see that my reasons for adoring this amazing woman were worth it because she truly is a legend for a good reason. I recommend this to anyone that is getting older. It gives a new perception and reminds us that we are only limited by what we allow. ( )
