Description: Dancing With Diana by Anne Allan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Dancing makes you feel heaps better" DianaIn 1981, after the wedding of the century, Anne Allan, a dancer, and ballet mistress with the London City Ballet, was offered an unusual assignment. Her Royal Highness Diana, the Princess of Wales, wanted dance lessons. Would Anne be her teacher?Anne and her royal pupil were soon meeting at a private studio for the first of hundreds of secret weekly one-hour lessons that were never on the princesss official schedule and never be discovered by the ever-lurking press. Under Annes direction, Diana mounted her spectacular debut on the stage of Covent Garden, videotaped a solo performance at Her Majestys Theatre, and made clandestine backstage visits to ballets and West End shows for the Princess to get as close as she could to the lives and work of real dancers.Over the course of nine years, teacher and pupil became close friends. Diana appreciated having an outsider to whom she could speak candidly about her personal challenges and her place in the royal world. They would talk, laugh, cry, and-always-dance. Most importantly, Diana learned to express her true self in physical movement. By her last class, the Princess had learned to carry herself with confidence, poise, and grace, both inside and outside the studio. Dance, says Anne, had "nourished and renewed her soul."NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR"I have often been bitterly disappointed with interviews regarding the Princess. There was always so much more to this incredible woman than what was depicted. I hope that anyone reading the book will appreciate this fresh look at the more personal side of Diana, enjoy hearing stories about our friendship and share in our fun times, as well as finding a deeper understanding of just how extraordinary she was."
