Download or read book And Then We Danced written by Henry Alford and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Captivating…equal parts memoir and cultural history, Henry Alford seamlessly interweaves heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes about his deep dive into all things dance” (Misty Copeland, The New York Times Book Review). When Henry Alford wrote about his experience with a Zumba class for The New York Times, little did he realize that it was the start of something much bigger. Dance would grow and take on many roles for Henry: exercise, stress reliever, confidence builder, an excuse to travel, a source of ongoing wonder, and—when he dances with Alzheimer’s patients—even a kind of community service. Tackling a wide range of forms (including ballet, hip-hop, jazz, ballroom, tap, contact improvisation, Zumba, swing), Alford’s grand tour takes us through the works and careers of luminaries ranging from Bob Fosse to George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp to Arthur Murray. Rich in insight and humor, Alford mines both personal experience and fascinating cultural history to offer a witty and ultimately moving portrait of how dance can express all things human. And Then We Danced “is in one sense a celebration of hoofer in all its wonder and variety, from abandon to refinement. But it is also history, investigation, memoir, and even, in its smart, sly way, self-help…very funny, but more, it is joyful—a dance all its own” (Vanity Fair).

Download or read book What Looks Like Crazy On an Ordinary Day written by Pearl Cleage and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New York Times–bestselling novel is “lively, topical, and fantasy filled. Watch out, Terry McMillian. Cleage is on your tail” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). After a decade of elegant pleasures and luxe living with the Atlanta brothers and sisters with the best clothes and biggest dreams, Ava Johnson has temporarily returned home to Idlewild—her fabulous career and power plans smashed to bits by cold reality. But what she imagines to be the end is, instead, a beginning. Because, in the ten-plus years since Ava left, all the problems of the big city have come to roost in the sleepy North Michigan community whose ordinariness once drove her away; and she cannot turn her back on friends and family who sorely need her in the face of impending trouble and tragedy. Besides which, that one unthinkable, unmistakable thing is now happening to her: Ava Johnson is falling in love. Acclaimed playwright, essayist, New York Times–bestselling author, and columnist Pearl Cleage has created a world rich in character, human drama, and deep, compassionate understanding, in a remarkable novel that sizzles with sensuality, hums with gritty truth, and sings and crackles with life-affirming energy. “Very funny and charming . . . Following Cleage’s twists and turns of the human spirit, readers may find themselves on a very inspired and uplifted plane well before the last page.” —Washington Post Book World “Cleage . . . delivers a work of intelligence and integrity. . . . [A] memorable tale.” —-Publishers Weekly, starred review

Book excerpt: This memoir shares the early, troubled years of the author's wife and transitions to their first meeting, relationship, and marriage.

He weaves in journals, letters, and posts and lays bare their life through her incurable disease. Throughout much of the book, the author offers dementia mileposts, tips, and observations to assist those struggling in their own journeys. While dementia will differ person to person, many will find similarities to their own experiences.

Download or read book And Then We Danced written by Zann and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grace of God and the extraordinary world of modern medicine, as well as love, hope and strength made our miracle possible. Each year, we would recall exactly what we were doing when the phone rang that morning. We would reminisce over each incident, right up to the time when the surgery doors swung closed behind him. It was all so remarkable; we never wanted to forget even the smallest detail. And Then We Danced will tell you how two people loved more deeply, drawing from each other's strength as their shared hope became a reality. Along with the miracle, however, came new challenges. Three years after Zann lost her mother to lung disease, she realized it was that experience that would help her prepare for a brand-new challenge. Her husband, who had also been diagnosed with lung disease, began to consider a lung transplant. She knew that, as the primary care giver, she would need an outlet to record the events that would transform their lives. She would need time for quite reflection, so she began writing in a journal. Over the years, Zann wrote hundreds of pages dealing with the treatment, its crises and successes, as well as the ordinary family and social events that fill up our lives, which she shares through her book. Zann currently spends her free time writing, as well as volunteering with Carolina Donor Services and Lung Transplant Patient Support groups. Her professional career includes finance and health insurance.

When the husband she adored went on sales calls, she waited for him in the parking lot, embroidering pillowcases. Jo grew up thinking that the last thing she wanted was to be like her mother. Then it dawned on her that her own happiness was derived in large part from lessons Babe had taught her.
