ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Ballet Beautiful is built on a foundation of incredible support and love. My thanks go to the many wonderful people in my life who helped me create this program and to everyone who helped me write and publish my first book!
First, my family: Thank you to my parents for their love—for letting me move to New York at 15 to pursue my crazy dream of being a ballerina and for cheering me on every step of the way! My love goes to Paul, my husband, for supporting me and Ballet Beautiful every day and for teaching me how to swim the crawl and buying me dark chocolate!
And my colleagues: To Billie Fitzpatrick, my wonderful collaborator, thanks for your guidance at every turn and for your terrific patience in my pursuit of perfection! I am grateful to Matthew Elblonk, my meticulous agent at De Fiore, and to Renee, the world’s kindest and most engaging editor, and her fabulous team at Da Capo Press for bringing this book to life! And to the incredible Yelena Yemchuck: my deepest appreciation for conveying Ballet Beautiful through your beautiful images! Costanza Theodoli-Braschi, thank you for the beautiful illustrations of the basic ballet positions. And of course, I treasure my amazing team at Ballet Beautiful! Julie helps me make it happen every day, and Ashley brings my vision to life on the screen.
And friends: A huge thank-you to Natalie for the beautiful foreword to this book and a thousand hours of her hard work, incredible kindness, and all-around awesomeness. Thanks to my first Ballet Beauties: Sarah, Romy, Rain, Karen, Zooey, Chelsea, Kate, Liv, Leith, Kirsten, Eliza, Evgenia, Kristina, Rachel, Cora, Tracee, and Lynn, and to Gina, Rose, Katie, Val, Filipa, Helena, and all of the BB girls . . . I am so inspired by you all!!
I would like to give a special hug to everyone who was there at the beginning of this exciting ride! Carlos and Andrea, Linda, Dave, Tom, John and Alicia, Heather, Jeff, Laura and Patrick—thank you all.
And a final expression of thanks to you and the thousands of others who have taken a small leap to try Ballet Beautiful. I am humbled that you invite me into your daily lives to share my exercise and wellness program and hope you find in it reward and happiness for many years to come.
