Award-winning New York City Ballet soloist Georgina Pazcoguin, aka the Rogue Ballerina, gives readers a backstage tour of the real world of elite ballet the gritty, hilarious, sometimes shocking truth you don’t see from the orchestra circle.In this love letter to the art of dance and the sport that has been her livelihood, NYCB’s first Asian American female soloist Georgina Pazcoguin lays bare her unfiltered story of leaving small-town Pennsylvania for New York City and training amid the unique demands of being a hybrid professional athlete/artist, all before finishing high school. She pitches us into the fascinating, whirling shoes of dancers in one of the most revered ballet companies in the world with an unapologetic sense of humour about the cutthroat, survival-of-the-fittest mentality at NYCB. Some swan dives are literal: even in the ballet, there are plenty of face-plants, backstage fights, late-night parties, and raucous company bonding sessions.Rocked by scandal in the wake of the #MeToo movement, NYCB sits at an inflection point, inching toward progress in a strictly traditional culture, and Pazcoguin doesn’t shy away from ballet’s dark side. She continues to be one of the few dancers openly speaking up against the sexual harassment, mental abuse, and racism that in the past went unrecognized or was tacitly accepted as par for the course all of which she has painfully experienced firsthand.Tying together Pazcoguin’s fight for equality in the ballet with her infectious and deeply moving passion for her craft, Swan Dive is a page-turning, one-of-a-kind account that guarantees you'll never view a ballerina or a ballet the same way again.

“Swan Dive”, by NYC Ballet soloist, Georgina Pazcoguin, is a down ‘n dirty, tell all that will take you behind the scenes of the professional ballet world.Paz, or Gina, as she’s known, has been a member of the NYCB since she was 18 and began going to summer camp there at the young age of 14. She’s spent more than half her life in and around this organization and reveals all, including her experiences with Peter Martins, the artistic director who resigned due to sexual harassment allegations.Gina tells her story in rather colorful language and begins her story as a young girl sandwiched in the backseat of her family car. They’re on a road trip from Altoona, PA taking her to NYC for the 1st time to audition for the School of American Ballet where she successfully wins a scholarship.Her story proceeds mostly in a chronological manner. Interspersed along the way are short, bolded typed pages that are titled and numbered “SWAN DIVE # 1-12 These are 12 unique vignettes that Gina share as an exclamation point, mostly a negative but learning event, that highlight her story. You won’t soon forget these moments in her life. This is one formidable female!Altho’ Gina faced a great deal of adversity, abuse and discrimination, she didn’t let it stop her or hinder her career. She is a successful dancer and has blazed a path for young girls coming behind her, regardless of color or conformation. Perhaps she would consider a version of this book that they could read, sans the colorful language? It would be such an inspiration 📚
