Local Author Spotlight: Leslie Jonas presents "Places, please: The Making of a Bunhead"
Leslie Jonas, a former Boston Ballet principal dancer, launches her memoir, which follows her childhood obsession with ballet, her rise through a “punishing art form,” and a second act with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. It covers Boston Ballet’s tour as the first U.S. ballet company to visit China after the Cultural Revolution, and her three years dancing alongside Rudolf Nureyev.
