Description
Book SynopsisThis history of dancing is rich with fascinating anecdotes (like the New Jersey girl arrested for dancing the Turkey Trot on her lunch hour) and astonishing facts (the first geisha were men), as well as tender portrayals of dancers whose stage antics have earned them lasting fame.
Trade Review'MUST READ - read this and strut your stuff.' Tatler 'Buonaventura's theatrical flourish never deserts her. The breadth of her knowledge is apparent in every gem of an anecdote.' Daily Telegraph 'Fascinating.' The Big Issue 'Brilliantly researched and utterly absorbing.' Venue 'Truly fascinating ... this is a riveting read even for newcomers to dance.' Decode 'Dancing is sexy and subversive. If you can't get onto a dance floor, read Buonaventura's book, which is the next best thing.' Joan Smith 'Engaging and informative and deliciously opinionated. The most enjoyable dance lesson Wendy Buonaventura's readers will ever have had.' Irma Kurtz
