Aurélie Dupont was a star dancer and dance director of the Paris Opera. In a rich autobiography, Don't forget why you dance, she recounts the knee operation which almost ended her career.
Dupont: “I compartmentalized a lot, my children know nothing about my star career”. ‘I wanted to write to share my passion and also break with my modest nature,’ she says. “Being a mother has been and continues to be my greatest role,” she adds.
