The Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Arts Management students, faculty, and staff were thrilled to find out that legendary ballerina and Broadway performer Lee Wilson was coming to visit! Lee was in town promoting her book, Rebel On Pointe, which is on sale at the Full Circle Bookstore. She says in an interview with the Florida Bookshelf, “Ballet gave me a glimpse of a different world order, and I wanted to be a part of that world.” After dancing on pointe in Europe and with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet in New York, Wilson again felt drawn to a new dance outlet. “Every day, as I walked to the Metropolitan Opera House, I passed through the Broadway theatre district.” Wilson resolved to “become a part of this magical, musical, mind-expanding world,” and before long, she was under the bright lights of the Broadway stage. (floridabookshelf.wordpress/2014/10/03/7-reasons-why-ballet-dancers-choose-broadway/) It was so inspiring to hear Lee talk about her life, share her stories, and encourage the Ann Lacy students. Everyone had a wonderful time and we cant wait until Lee comes to visit again! Any dancers that are aspiring to end up on the Broadway stage should check out her book, Rebel On Pointe!
