She begins in Milan as a rookie dancer on a bare stage with seventeen other dancers, a pianist, a drummer and a choreographer. Over the next five exhausting weeks of rehearsals, she witnesses the creation of a polished show-a show in which, as a member of the company, over the next seven months she would tour every inch of Italy and Sicily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth, now in her eighties, tells her story with both candor and humor. It's a tale of camaraderie and occasional strife, lots of glamour, even more hard work, and sometimes boredom, all while taking an excursion that most twenty-year-old women in 1960 could have only dreamed of. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Dale Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950385752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950385751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
