Becoming a street dancer and a brief stint as a stripper when she gets older, reveals to Dana, that she wants something more than to pedal her physical talents for "paper." Dana Dances on Paper is a must read for anyone who has desired a dream, yet took the often unorthodox path towards achieving it.
