description: Spend a day with Cynthia Gregory - a very special day, the day she dances the lead role in American Ballet Theatre's production of Swan Lake.As she prepares for her performance at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, Cynthia Gregory pulls the curtain aside for a behind-the-scenes look at the dazzling day in the life of a prima ballerina. From her early morning breakfast at home to a rigorous full day of workouts, rehearsals, and costume fittings to the moment she leaps onto the stage and her final triumphant bow - this is a ballerina's day, and the ballerina's art. Stunning photographs by Martha Swope show a prima ballerina at the top of her form.
