A Must For Anyone Considering Dancing Abroad

This book was exceptionally well-written and very hard to put down - excellent photos too! I loved reading about Olympia's experiences dancing in Russia - I used this book as my travel guide and packing checklist to prepare for my own dancing adventure in Russia! Not only is this an entertaining book, but it is full of practical advice as well.
