About this listen
Wayne Sleep has danced with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, partied with Freddie Mercury and performed with Princess Diana, becoming her close friend.
Behind the glitz and glamour, Wayne has always felt like an outsider. Sleep reveals the difficulties for a working-class, gay man in handling the prejudices of his generation and living through the Aids epidemic. Wayne was also the shortest principal dancer in the Royal Ballet - he had to spin twice as fast and jump twice as high to succeed.
In this moving - but also laugh-out-loud and gossip filled - memoir, Wayne Sleep shows how he danced his way to success, fulfilment and love, and how he overcame obstacles and prejudice along the way.©2024 Wayne Sleep (P)2024 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

So beautiful, so enjoyable
What an interesting self-biography. It was uplifting and inspiring. Thank you to Wayne Sleep for having taken the time to write a book, it is such a time consuming task but so worth it. Would love to hear the recording of his mother’s record. A splendid book, highly recommended.
