An elegant, expressive dancer, Chan Hon Goh is one of the ballet worldâ€™s great stars. She is a brilliant technician possessing a delicate beauty and radiant stage presence. Born in Beijing to dancer parents, she tells the story of their flight to Canada from an oppressive regime that thwarted her fatherâ€™s career, her rigorous training, and her battle to achieve acceptance as the only Chinese-born prima
ballerina in the history of the National Ballet.

This fascinating look at the life of a dancer will appeal not only to the legions of Chan Hon Gohâ€™s admirers and to students of ballet, but also to young readers who understand what it is to pursue a dream.
