Benevento, Antoinette
Dancing through life : lessons learned on and off the dance floor / Antoinette Benevento and Edwin Dobb. - New York : St. Martin's Press, c2007 - xii, 228 pages ; 22 cm.
Prelude: the art of balance -- First steps -- Silencing the inner critic -- Dance of desire -- Two left feet -- Energy in motion -- Dancing solo -- Duets -- The dance of life -- Taking the lead -- Dance of departure -- Back on the dance floor -- The dance of your life -- Reprise: putting your best foot forward.
A warm and encouraging self-help book that draws inspiration and motivation from ballroom dancing. Precisely because the dance floor stands apart from the everyday world, allowing dancers to play, experiment and take on new roles, it also serves as a stage for human behavior. Antoinette Benevento, a former national ballroom dancing champion and co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studios, has been a student of that stage for 25 years. She has discovered that getting out on the dance floor is a powerful and empowering metaphor for living fully in all realms of life.
