Dance Your Way Home

£10.99

This title is about the kind of ordinary dancing you and I might do in our kitchens when a favourite tune comes on. It’s more than a social history: it’s a set of interconnected histories of the overlooked places where dancing happens – Why do we dance? What does dancing tells us about ourselves, individually and collectively? And what can it do for us? Whether it be at home, ’80s club nights, jungle raves or volunteer-run spaces and youth centres, Emma Warren has sought the answers to these questions her entire life. At the intersection of memoir, social, and cultural history, ‘Dance Your Way Home’ is an intimate foray onto the dancefloor – wherever and whenever it may be – that speaks to the heart of what it is that makes us move.

Description

‘A clarion call to get up on the dance floor.’ FINANCIAL TIMES

Why do we dance together? What does dancing tell us about ourselves, individually and collectively? Whether at home, in ’80s club nights, Irish dancehalls or youth centres, Emma Warren has sought the answers to these questions her entire life. Dancing is a part of our stories – the part that finds us as children dancing on the toes of adults; that triggers communication across borders and languages; that embraces ordinary dancing, hesitant dancers and the joy of moving to music. Dance Your Way Home speaks to the heart of what it is that makes us move – wherever and whenever that may be.

‘A fast track in understanding the secret formula that brings on collective euphoria through music and dance. It’s brilliant.’ GILES PETERSON

‘A wonderful book so full of knowledge, love and joy.’ WENDY ERSKINE
