By: James Whiteside“James Whiteside is an electrifying performer, an incredible athlete, and an artist, through and through. To know James is to love him; with Center Center, you are about to fall in love.” —Jennifer Garner
“A frank examination and celebration of queerness.”
—Good Morning America
A daring, joyous, and inspiring memoir-in-essays from the American Ballet Theatre principal dancer-slash-drag queen-slash-pop star who's redefining what it means to be a man in ballet
There's a mark on every stage around the world that signifies the center of its depth and width, called "center center." James Whiteside has dreamed of standing on that very mark as a principal dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre ever since he was a twelve-year-old blown away by watching the company's spring gala. The GLAMOUR. The VIRTUOSITY. The RIPPED MEN IN TIGHTS!
In this absurd and absurdist collection of essays, Whiteside tells us the story of how he got to be a primo ballerino—stopping along the way to muse about the tragically fated childhood pets who taught him how to feel, reminisce on ill-advised partying at summer dance camps, and imagine fantastical run-ins with Jesus on Grindr. Also in these pages are tales of the two alter egos he created to subvert the strict classical rigor of ballet: JbDubs, an out-and-proud pop musician, and Ühu Betch, an over-the-top drag queen named after Yoohoo chocolate milk.
Center Center is an exuberant behind-the-scenes tour of Whiteside’s triple life, both on- and offstage—a raunchy, curious, and unapologetic celebration of queerness, self-expression, friendship, sex, creativity, and pushing boundaries that will entertain you, shock you*, inspire you, embolden you . . . and maybe even make you cry.
*THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR CHILDREN.

Beautiful/update had to return
Color: Multi Color
Worth the price UPDATE: When I wrote my first review I had not taken the purse to the plan event. However on the day that I was putting items inside of the purse, November 4, 2022, when I attempted to close the purse the back of the purse detached from the frame. I had to return the purse. I would love to have another one however I will wait, because the event that I was going to take the person has passed. I had to find another purse at the last minute to take to my event, because of the defective, beautiful purse.

I purchased this for a bride who would not buy it for herself. Her mother reported that the purse is beautiful, a good size. The bride was thrilled.

It’s ok.
Color: Multi Color, Color: Multi Color
It’s really pretty. From a distance. Not worth the price point. Probably worth like $15. The craftsmanship is terrible. And there’s glue all over the outside of the stones. It also is sticky and smells strongly. I’m hoping it’ll will dry and air out by the time I need it. it got here in two days which is rare where I am and it photographs well from a distance so that part is great for events. It’s large inside. Think could hold your cell, a friends cell, lipstick and pepper spray easy. The chain is cute. Overall I’d give it five stars if it wasn’t made sooooo badly and didn’t smell so terrible. Id return it if I had time before my event.

Such a pretty evening bag. Will complement many colors.
Color: Multi Color, Color: Multi Color
Such a pretty bag, but unfortunately I wasn't able to carry it to my event. When I added my lipstick, credit card… to the bag, the front slipped out of the frame (see photo). Doesn't appear to be attached. Since I really like the bag, I'm going to take it to my shoe repair shop to see if they can glue or secure the front into the frame. Btw, the back of the bag is a pretty shimmery silver. :-)
