Ballroom lessons beyond the dance floor

Drawing on the author’s experience as a long-time ballroom dancer, this collection uses dance to consider how people meet everyday life. Its short pieces connect dancing with perception, discipline, gratitude, courtesy, and the search for harmony. The reflections range across philosophical, spiritual, poetic, and abstract perspectives, with some humor, making ballroom dance the framework for thinking about attention to daily experience. The book is organized as a collection of creative writings and stories, and its description suggests taking a chapter at a time during a quiet moment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ballroom dancers interested in reflections on how dance connects with daily life
  • Readers drawn to inspirational writing about mindfulness, gratitude, and courtesy
  • Those who prefer short pieces for quiet, occasional reading

Book overview

Using dance as a metaphor, this collection of creative writings and stories extends the love and joys of dancing to life in general. The author, as a long-time ballroom dancer, draws on lessons learned in dance and links them to everyday experiences, from the way we perceive things, to discipline, gratitude, courteous behavior, and finding harmonious living in the world we inhabit. Expressed in a way dancers can relate to but have a hard time putting into words, often from a philosophical, spiritual, poetic, or abstract view, and sometimes with humor, this book offers an open invitation to become more mindful of the spirit that innervates our daily lives, all through the lens of ballroom dance.

 

Recommended as inspirational reading one chapter each day during a quiet moment at the beginning or end of the day.
