To Dance
Ballerinas are young when they first dream of dance. Siena was six—and her dreams kept skipping and leaping, circling and spinning, from airy runs along a beach near her home in Puerto Rico, to dance classes at the School of American Ballet, to her debut performance on stage with the New York City Ballet while working with ballet legend George Balanchine.
Part family history, part backstage drama, this beautifully updated graphic memoir—which features a refreshed design and a brand-new scrapbook of Siena’s mementoes—is an original, firsthand look a young dancer’s beginnings.

To Dance by Siena Cherson Siegel artfully captures the juxtaposition between the grace seen on stage and the demanding dedication required behind the scenes. The newly redesigned edition enhances the emotional resonance of the narrative, particularly reflecting the profound personal fulfilment that ballet brings to the author.
