Broadway, Balanchine, and Beyond: A MemoirIn this memoir of a roller coaster career on the New York stage, former actor and dancer Bettijane Sills offers a highly personal look at the art and practice of George Balanchine, one of ballet's greatest choreographers, and the inner workings of his world renowned company during its golden years.

In this memoir of a roller coaster career on the New York stage, former actor and dancer Bettijane Sills offers a highly personal look at the art and practice of George Balanchine, one of ballet's greatest choreographers, and the inner workings of his world-renowned company during its golden years. After getting her start on the stage as a child actor on Broadway, Bettijane Sills joined the New York City Ballet in 1961 as a member of the corps de ballet, working her way up to the level of soloist. As a company dancer who remained outside the spotlight that the principals enjoyed, Sills experienced a side of the company that prima ballerinas did not share in. She tells stories of taking class with Balanchine, dancing in the original casts of some of his most iconic productions, and working with some of the company's most famous dancers. Winningly honest and intimate, Sills lets readers in on the secrets of a world that most people have never seen firsthand. She reveals mistakes she made, the unglamorous parts of tour life, jealousy among company members, and Balanchine's complex relationships with women. She talks about Balanchine's insistence on thinness in his dancers and how her own struggles with weight ended her dancing career. Now a professor of dance who has educated thousands of students on Balanchine's style and legacy, Sills reflects on the highs and lows of a career indelibly influenced by the bright lights of theater and by the man who shaped American ballet.Binding Type: Paperback

Surprisingly Effective – Smoother, Firmer, More Hydrated Skin!!!
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I decided to try the FRANKLY Closer Serum after seeing it listed as Amazon’s Choice and noticed it had been purchased 6K+ times in the past month and I can see why! This serum has been a great addition to my skincare routine.
The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue. It feels hydrating right away, and over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks smoother and more refined, especially around my pores and T-zone. It doesn’t clog pores, which is important for my acne-prone skin, and it layers well under makeup or sunscreen.
I appreciate the powerhouse ingredients like 9 peptides, vegan collagen, adenosine, and PHA they’ve helped improve my skin’s elasticity and texture without irritation. The glow is real, and I can see that “glass skin” look starting to come through with consistent use.
The 1.01 fl oz size may seem small, but a little goes a long way. The pump bottle is hygienic and easy to use, and the overall packaging feels clean and modern.
If you’re looking for a gentle, multi-tasking anti-aging and pore-refining serum, this one is a great value and it lives up to the hype.

The best pore reducer, even on older complexions!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Nothing has ever worked reducing my enlarged cheek and nose pores over the years. Now I've finally found something that works. By the second day there was noticeable results and by the end of the first week even the small wrinkles under my eyes was gone! I use it with my normal skin care routine but I won't do without this again.

Good and Hydrated
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s very good and hydrates very well. Not a fast or much improvement on pores. But very good to hydrate your skin.

Just buy it
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am not even sure I want to do this review because this might mean this product gets sold out. But I wont gate-keep. Get it. This has changed the game with my skin care. I use it twice a day and let me tell you, the compliments I get are incredible. It is not greasy at all, absorps quickly, super light weight and does not irritate my skin. My skin is glass smooth. I have bought this for everyone in my life. Male and Female. I use it, let it dry then add moisturizer or sunscreen.

Works well with others!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Initially and by itself, I really didn’t see any changes to my face that made me confident with this product. But now that I have a skin routine, I think it works well! Now I like it and I see changes. But alone or with few products, I’m not sure how effective it is!
