I haven't seen this book yet, but I use Lots of acting technique in my dancing. The six questions format is an excellent tool for finding and presenting a more complete and emotional performance. Relating the rigors of dance to the travails of the alchemical opus, the author, herself a former Martha Graham dancer, allows us to experience the process that for many gives birth to an enhanced awareness of the Self. A timely reminder of the interaction between body and soul. This book addresses different aspects of our beings with Andes' unique combination of the physical and spiritual.
Dance can be a prayer.
Dancing from the inside, with rounded shapes that come naturally to women, is one way to heal the collective wound of body self-loathing that has kept women down. As we heal, we become radiant and we leave for our daughters, a legacy of love, not shame. This meld of mind and body is the foundation upon which this intelligent guide to sensible bodybuilding and overall fitness for women is built. A unique book that offers a new treatment of female empowerment, blending spiritual and physical strength in the tradition of Deepak Chopra's New York Times bestseller, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. Strength is the foundation I believe the body is a pathway into spirit.
