0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Page From The PastBy JewelAs a former Elinor Fry dance student ; I was thrilled to find out about this book. I lived in Richmond for 12 years while my father was stationed at Ft. Lee and every week I looked forward to going downtown to my dance class with two of my neighborhood friends. The book brought back fond memories of Elinor Frys Dance Studio and the elaborate recitals. I even learned a few new things about my former instructor. A good read for former students as well as anyone interested in dance.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
