I've already read 'Winter Season-A Dancer's Journal', Life in Dance (Darcey Bussell biography) both unputdownable. I'm currently reading Margot Fonteyn, any opinions? Have you read any other novels about ballet dancers that you could recommend?

I enjoy autobiographies like Dancing on my Grave by Gelsey Kirkland, Holding on to the Air by Suzanne Farrell and Tony Bently, Once a Dancer by Allegra Kent, Prodigal Son by Edward Villella. It is interesting to see how the dancer perceives his or her own life and art.

The Sadler's Wells Collection by Lorna Hill is very good. I read that as a teen.
Sadler's Wells is, of course, a real ballet school so it's fiction based on fact.

well, ballet shoes by noel streatfield is a cute fiction book. i would also recommend the book ballet stories, by harriet castor. and, even though it is geared for young children, the book the silver slippers by elizabeth koda-callen is just adorable. i'm 15 and still read it sometimes.
