In a career spanning six decades, ballet legend Finis Jhung has left his mark on Broadway, in film, and on stages across the world. He danced with the San Francisco Ballet, The Joffrey Ballet, and the Harkness Ballet and eventually founded and choreographed for his own ballet company. Finis has taught everyone from prima ballerinas and Broadway stars to adult beginners. His goal is to make ballet accessible to everyone by creating innovative ways of teaching. Not content with life in the studio, he has created more than 50 instructional dance videos, produced 18 music CDs, and authored The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: A Guide for Teachers & Studentsâall so that aspiring dancers of every level can learn his techniques, without ever leaving home. In Ballet for Life: A Pictorial Memoir, he shares his own story for the first time, starting from humble roots in World War II Hawaii. Still actively teaching at the age of 83, his greatest joy is helping students find their âinner dancer.â
