Ballerina Melanie Hamrick Talks Gripping New Novel The Unraveling, Motherhood, and Partner Mick Jagger

September 26, 2024

Renowned ballerina Melanie Hamrick has seen it all in the ballet world and lived to tell about it, well, a variation of it. 

After years with the American Ballet Theatre and an injury that forced her to take six months off to recover, she decided to draw upon her intimate experience in the turbulent ballet world to create gripping tales that will leave you on the edge of your seat with every page turn.

Her latest book, the sequel to her highly acclaimed debut First Position, is The Unraveling. It’s a racy and gripping exploration of London’s professional ballet world filled with addictive relationships, restless drama, sexual tension, and utter chaos happening behind the scenes.

The mom of son Deveraux, she shares with partner Mick Jagger, who encouraged her, along with her mom, to start writing, sat down with LifeMinute editor-in-chief Joann Butler at our LifeMinute Studios recently to tell us all about it and more.

This is a LifeMinute with author and ballerina Melanie Hamrick.
