Description of this Book

Sir Jon Trimmer is a Kapiti, Wellington, and New Zealand dance legend. His timespan and durability is unique in world ballet. This is his story.

The first part follows Jon's journey through:
*the fledgling years of New Zealand Ballet with Poul Gnatt and Russell Kerr
*his training in London's Royal Ballet School
*his international performing with Sadler's Wells, Australian Ballet and Royal Danish Ballet
*performing alongside Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev
*and his long faithful vigil alongside his dancing wife Lady Jacqui with Royal New Zealand Ballet
*
"There have definitely been some highlights, some happy memories, and early on some key career decisions."

In the second part of this book Jon has a whole quota of tips for new (and older) players in his dancing world:
How did he leap so high?
How on earth did his body keep up with such constant physical demands?
How did he reinvent himself as a character performer?

"I'm hoping that some of the sections may be useful, especially for dance performers of the future".
