Every Step You Take: A Memoir is a look back for Jock Soto at his family and his career, sorting through the influences that made him a unique figure in the ballet world. The writing took great courage, as some of his family history must have been hard to face — some unpleasant truths about his father, in particular, and his mother’s family. He has an amazing life story, a story that I don’t think could even happen today, and his telling of it is quite humble.

4.5 stars, actually, the extra 1/2 for being a very quick read. Most memoirs I have to slog through but this was fun and sweet and Soto is so humble for all of the many gifts he was given. I would recommend this book to dancers and dance aficionados, for sure, all of whom would love a glimpse into the world of City Ballet.
