The Fascination of a Dancer for Healing Hands

53 years old, today the full time masseur of the Stuttgart Ballet. At 19, he began to take ballet classes very late. He was trained at the Harkness Ballet School in New York, and danced three years each in USA and in the Stuttgart Ballet. From the beginning, he was thinking about the time afterwards and found his new calling in the work as a masseur for dancers.

Richard Gilmore translated my book Ballet - and Then? into English.
