Alice Robb has written for Vanity Fair, The Washington Post and The Atlantic, among other publications. Her second book, Don't Think, Dear: On Loving and Leaving Ballet—a memoir/cultural history following her classmates at the School of American Ballet through adulthood—has been called "an elegantly incisive, meditative work" (Kirkus) and "A rigorous yet loving examination of a childhood passion told through a feminist lens" (Rebecca Traister).
