Partner dance, resilience and well-being

Ember Reichgott Junge brings together personal accounts, interviews and scientific research to examine partner dance in relation to physical activity, mental sharpness, social connection and emotional well-being. The book includes experiences of people living with depression, dementia and Parkinson’s disease, alongside the author’s own account. It also makes a case for recognizing dance within insured and public health care, including the possibility of prescribed sessions. The subject therefore reaches beyond dance as exercise to consider its place in health and community life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in partner dance as a form of exercise and social connection.
  • People exploring the relationship between dance, mental well-being and health care.
  • Readers who value a mix of personal narratives, interviews and scientific discussion.

Book overview

In the same vein of Wendy Suzuki's Healthy Brain, Happy Life and Peter Attia's Outlive, this inspiring narrative weaves together personal narratives, interviews, and cutting-edge science to explore the power of partner dance in transforming lives.

Energetic living. Mental sharpness. Social interaction. Emotional well-being. Scientifically proven benefits for people living with depression, dementia, and Parkinson's disease. The Dance of Resilience reveals how these are just some of the many ways partner dance transforms lives.

Through extraordinary stories of ordinary people across the human spectrum--woven with her own candid experiences--award-winning author and legislator Ember Reichgott Junge shows how partner dance sparks self-discovery, fosters a healthier lifestyle, and offers a powerful antidote to today's growing "epidemic of loneliness."

But Reichgott Junge goes even further, building a compelling case that dance should be recognized as an essential part of our insured and public health care systems. What if your doctor could prescribe twelve dance sessions--covered by insurance--to help ease anxiety or enhance cognitive function?

Step into The Dance of Resilience--and discover your hidden resilience as you enter an unexpected life of purpose and heartwarming possibility.
