I threw my throat out in the centre of Swan Lake tonight. So starts the tale of Kate Crane, a soloist in a famous New York City ballet company. Kate is battling to keep her place in a very demanding world, a world she can't help satirizing even while she balances harm and self-doubt to maintain her place within it. At every turn she is haunted by her close relationship with her younger sister, Gwen, a fellow company dancer whose profession quickly surpassed Kate's but who has suffered a break down and went back home to Michigan. By itself for the very first time in her life, Kate is troubled and packed with guilt about the role she performed in her sister's collapse. As we follow her by using an insider head to of rehearsals, performances, and associates onstage and off, she confronts the tangle of love, jealousy, pride, and obsession that are beginning to fracture her own sanity. Funny, dark, close, and unflinchingly honest, The Cranes Dance is a e book that pulls back the drapes to expose the private lives of dancers and explores the complicated relationship between sisters.
