Teaming up with my long time collaborator (and sister), Jacqueline Preiss Weitzman, Gloria’s Promise draws on my own memories of being a young girl and my all consuming desire to dance. Working closely with members of the American Ballet Theatre School, I hoped to convey the excitement and privilege of being in close proximity to professional dancers, the hard work and persistence it takes to succeed, and the sheer joy of pursuing ones passion.
“The creators render a lively paean to passion and persistence via a sympathetic protagonist who knows that ‘This is where I want to be.’” —Publishers Weekly
