For young dancers, having a mentor can be a lifesaver. But not every student has access to that one dancer at the studio with the perfect advice for every situation—the kind of wisdom that comes from lived experience. americanballettheatre principal mistyonpointe and nycballet principal tilerpeck, having reached great heights in their own dance careers, are helping to fill that gap. Recently, they both wrote books that lend a helping hand to younger dancers—or kids with any interests—by providing tips, how-tos, and anecdotes on navigating young life. “Letters to Misty” (simonandschuster, May 2025) and “XO Ballerina Big Sis” (penguinrandomhouse, October 2025) are books that readers can finish in one sitting or reference when they need some pro-dancer wisdom.
