Internationally traveled and familiar with salons and personalities
of the dance world, we find a stroll through the years as Dorothy
Dean Stevens gives us glimpses of personal encounters with leading
dancers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
She begins by tracing her ancestors settling in the west; on
through her early years, then to her entrance into the hallowed
halls of European Ballet and the continued ties with leading
dancers. Early in her life she studied at Cornish School of the
Arts and later with Eugene Lorin. Such notables as Adolf Bolm, and
Dimitri Romanoff, instructed in her dance studio in Monterey
California. Sucessful dancers such as Frank Bourman, and Michael
Smuin, who later founded the Smuin Ballet in San Francisco, taught
for a time at Dorothy's studio.
She also covers the development of the cultural arts, tracing
theater and talent that existed in the central California region of
the Monterey Peninsula. But there is more to her life than this;
travel and adventure, business and pleasure all woven into a tale
of her life. Dorothy dances through joys and sorrows to the encore
years in which her family, once again, takes the spot light.
