"This candid memoir opens a fascinating window on the emotive journey of a ballet mum, the mother of Yasmine Naghdi, Principal ballerina of The Royal Ballet. She presents a unique perspective on the many trials and tribulations she has lived through: from her initial hesitations to all her concerns once Yasmine commenced her classical ballet training at The Royal Ballet School, and up until she joined The Royal Ballet as a young professional dancer. ""Tears of a Ballet Mum"" offers a fascinating insight into what it takes to support a talented child through the physical and mental demands of ballet training, how to aid in building mental strength, and how to take ownership of the training whilst ensuring overall mental well-being. With over 70 private, backstage and performance colour photos"
