To Dance #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis graphic memoir follows a young girl's journey as she pursues her dream of becoming a professional ballerina, capturing the discipline, passion, and personal challenges of dance. Written and illustrated by Siena Cherson Siegel with art by Mark Siegel, it collects the complete story of her experiences at the School of American Ballet.
In "Flat Feet," Siena and her friend Mandy watch a haunting performance of Giselle, where a ballerina embodies both a lover and a vengeful spirit. The story unfolds through the stark contrast between the fairy-tale first act and the dark, relentless second, where the dancer becomes one of the Wilis—ghosts bound by heartbreak. Written by Siena Cherson Siegel and brought to life with striking, expressive art by Mark Siegel, this issue captures the emotional weight and physical toll of performance, all rendered in a style that’s both delicate and powerful.

Siena and Mandy attend a performance of Giselle, in which Giselle falls in love with a prince and dies. In the second act she is one of the Wilis -- women who died for love, and seek revenge on men. Giselle dances with her prince all night long in order to save him. The part, radically different in the two acts, is a demanding tour de force for a ballerina.
