Fostering and Maintaining Integrity in the Arts
A Common Sense Approach to Studying, Training, Performing, and Teaching the Art of DanceBreathing Life Into Dance is based on the Robin Sturm’s life as a student, professional dancer, teacher and choreographer. This book serves as a loving guide to anyone who has a desire to explore the performing arts, whether professionally or for personal artistic fulfillment. Sturm’s lifetime of experience has given her a fresh perspective of how to teach this beloved and highly respected art form and to perpetuate a legacy of integrity and a passion for excellence. This book is not a memoir, nor a biography of another dancer’s life. It is not a “how-to” that touts a new style or specific technique that will assure a dancer’s acceptance into a professional career. Instead, it is a revelation borne of endless training, dancing, performing, teaching, and relating to every imaginable motivation and personality.

This lady teaches ballet to my sisters.
She is a wonderful, gracious, talented lady.
She treats her students with respect, including incorporating modesty into dress.
There is a reason students stay with her for years, she can teach the young ones and go all the way up to professional. I dont know about her book but she is an awesome teacher and a great person!!

This was surprisingly interesting! I am not a parent of a dancer – I’m an adult who has always loved ballet and who hopes to one day find an adult beginner ballet class! So I’m not the intended audience for this, but I still found it fascinating, and very helpful. Robin’s insights are, well, insightful – they’re a great window into the world of dance, both as a student and a teacher. She’s reinvigorated my quest to find classes for myself!
