          About the book:

„ ... still, I know all the time that I write about Gabriela Teglaši Velimirović, ballerina from Novi Sad and for a while director of their Ballet, actually about things I experienced and lived while reading her book.
Really, who reads the book, will see and realize that Gabriela is one working and artistic phenomenon, unlimited in its spreading, with the energy which could be called by her name. She doesn't know for obstacles and impossible. If she hasn't done something, it was just because she didn't remember, not because she couldn't...“

        BALLET  is it for eating?  “...is a book targeting against usual prejudice about ballet (for that reason it has such subtitle). It is authentic, written by the author who has been on the stage and behind the stage, the person for whom you may put an equal mark between life and ballet.

          ...it is intended for everybody. For us who wished for sure, at least  once in our lives, to tiptoe; for those who, while watching a ballet show, imagine ballerinas as filigree dolls on gondola - souvenirs,  or those in music boxes; for girls who take first ballet steps without having any inkling of what they will face; for parents for whom ballet is the right thing for their princesses, and for many who would like to have fun but also to learn something – regardless how much this might sound as phrase.
In any case, after reading this literary work nobody will mix up expressions sport shoe and ballet shoe anymore or, God forbid, call ballerina an athlete, or think that  a split position is the biggest scope of one first-class ballerina.”
