As a dancer I was particularly interested in her insights about teachers and how her perception of herself changed over time while dancing, because I could relate to it.
Unfortunately, most of the book is taken up with less about dancing and more about her own personal shortcomings and the "failure" of her marriage.
Time moves incredibly quickly and I never did grasp how long she spent doing anything in particular. It went from starting to dance to years dancing More...

I enjoyed some of the dancing information--an "insider" look at ballroom dancing, but the book was not quite what I had hoped it would be. Carlson, an amateur dance champion at 24, returns to dancing in her 40s as her marriage is crumbling. I, however, thought it was going to be about a woman who discovers dancing late in life . . .although this book (in the right director's hands) could be developed into an amazing Lifetime movie!

Some really interesting stuff about ballroom dancing, surrounded by intolerable whining and navel-gazing.
