In this story of his first sixteen years, Robert Maiorano tells how a small boy who once wanted to be a Brooklyn Dodger became a world-renowned dancer. He describes the years of hard work, the arduous training, the frustrations, triumphs, and disappointments before he was accepted into the New York City Ballet.
