“A loving testament to the transformative potential of dance”
— Publisher's Weekly“This book is inspiring, fascinating, and deeply motivating. It made me want to keep moving, stay connected, and rethink how we approach health, resilience, and healing.”
— Books and Coffee MX“I loved how Ember Reichgott Junge's writing feels like a conversation with a passionate friend rather than a dry report…. Even as someone who isn’t a dancer, I found the action on the dance floor—the awkward first lessons, the competitions, and the quiet emotional turning points—completely gripping.”
— Readers' Favorite“I gained a lot of insight into the last section of the book that shares how partner dancing helps with both physical and mental health. Those stories, like Mark who has Parkinson’s Disease, are an inspiration and a tribute to the power of partner dance.”
— Rozier Reads and Wine“This book is inspiring, easy to read, and full of heart. It shows how dance can help us connect, heal, and live healthier lives.”
— Tammy Reads“This author’s smile is on every page. Informative, but never boring, she’s (nearly) able to talk both my two left feet into taking a spin around the room. I love how she speaks from a position of authority and has a real plan (on both a personal and systemic level) to get her ideas implemented. I love how she blends personal anecdote and testimony with science and theory.”
“This beautiful collection of stories and photographs was really inspirational for me. It was also a good reminder of the blessings we can reap when we step outside our comfort zones.”
“I loved all the stories that the author brought out in this one including her own, they were honest and relatable. Seeing the different hardships and loss that others faced but overcame through dance.”
