Runaway Dancer Getaway Tales

These stories span the years from when McAndrews studied ballet with Felia Doubrovska and Antonina Tumkovsky at Balanchine's School of American Ballet in New York City, until she moved to Tucson, Arizona, and could no longer dance. Here are the tales of her transformation from city dancer to wilderness dancer. Jeri lived in Boulder, Colorado in the seventies, went to the Hopi snake dance and became friends with a Hopi Elder. She learned how to rock climb and was a member of Earth First! Jeri survived a plane crash, and a rafting accident. She choreographed and performed at Arches National Park, and the Coronet Creek Waterfall in Telluride. She now lives in Bisbee, Arizona. Runaway Dancer, Getaway Tales has a picture section of eighteen pages.
