ABOUT THIS BOOK: SIGNED! Inscribed, personalized (see photo)! San Jose Cleveland Ballet: A Legacy for the Future Hardcover – January 1, 1993by Jean D. Sexton (Author). The San Jose Cleveland Ballet has breathed new life into an esoteric art form, communicating the magic of dance to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Artistic Director Dennis Nahat has gone beyond tradition and created his own vision of what ballet should be today. Audiences from San Jose to Dublin have wildly applauded the company's style created by Nahat — a blend of technical perfection and Broadway showmanship. In just one decade the young San Jose Cleveland Ballet company has hosted Mikhail Baryshnikov and danced with Rudolf Nureyev, two superstars of the dance world. San Jose Cleveland Ballet: A Legacy for the Future is a lively chronicle of how a merry band of visionaries, led by founding chairman Karen Loewenstern, proved they had guts and succeeded in the glory of bringing world-class professional ballet to Silicon Valley. It is a tale of survival. Through artis-tic and fiscal crises and personal dramas the ballet's trustees, volunteers and staff never crumbled. The result: a company now gaining international status as an ar-tistic and economic role model for the future. Illustrated with more than 100 photographs the book is an engaging behind-the-scenes portrait of one of America's finest dance companies.
