A glorious book about dancers and their passion.By Sophie UlsterRose Eichenbaums love of dance and her devotion to dancers shines through every page of this glorious book. Personal interviews and candid photographs take the reader on an intimate journey with each of these performing artists; revealing their aspirations; their failures; their love of life and of their art. The author manages to bring out the uniqueness of each subject; presenting an entertaining; inter-active visit with some of the great dancers of our time.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Capturing a Moment in TimeBy Larry BillmanWhat can one write about a "one-of-a-kind" photo journalism work like this one? "The Dancer Within" not only contains some masterful photographs but the "tone" of each interview is so personal; so candid and so insightful. Although the dance styles; career paths; accomplishments and challenges of each interviewee are varied; they all emerge as "One." It was prophetic and purposeful that the book is titled "The Dancer Within;" as the text "nails" that random and demanding dancer computer chip embedded in all of them. For anyone who ever danced -or ever dreamed of it - the book is a neccesary addition to your library. And your spirit.It also captures the end of an era in dance history but begins the transition into the future. I look forward to Ms. Eichenbaums next exploration and thank her for allowing us to take these journeys with her.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Intimate IndeedBy Joy M. WeinbergSitting down to read "The Dancer Within;" I feel as if Ive been invited into the homes of each great dancer for a cup of tea and an intimate sharing of lives. Accompanied by introspective; striking photographic portraits; most questions and answers tell the story of each artist/dancers life while paying equal attention to his/her inner life. I learned; for example; that for quite some time Joel Grey didnt want the early fame accorded him as a song-and-dance man; he longed to be the serious actor; the next Laurence Olivier. Rita Morenos rise to fame was deeply desired and complex. Not surprisingly in those times; as a Puerto Rican she was typecast in roles; but at the same time in adulthood she herself struggled--internally and externally--to overcome the messages of being "less than as a Puerto Rican" internalized in her childhood. She triumphs personally and professionally: a triumph of will; work; luck; and other blessings. Eichenbaum pays tribute to the drive and the humanness of these artists with sensitivity and grace.
