Book excerpt: Part memoir, part dance history and ethnography, this critical study explores ballet's power to inspire and to embody ideas about politics, race, women's agency, and spiritual experience.

Although ballet can appear (and sometimes is) elite and exclusionary, it also has revolutionary potential.
