The Book
|
Finally here is a book about dance, which doctors, teachers and psychologists will relate to.
“Bursting with insights, information and inspiration, this is surely the book the dance network has been waiting for! It covers every aspect of dance, and is full of juicy research to deepen understanding for established dancers. I particularly enjoyed the brain science and Stefan makes it simple for a non-techno mind. Profoundly serious yet lighthearted fun. The excitement is still with me.” June Watts: internationally acclaimed author, choreographer and dance facilitator “The book enlightened me about many fascinating and thought provoking aspects which I had not previously acknowledged or considered during my 26 years of circle dancing. Masterfully written." Adrian Pointon: Circle Dance teacher, choreographer and musician. “A wealth of information about the ins and outs of why dance is therapeutic and connecting. So many ideas on how to motivate and inspire your group. This is a must have for all dance teachers.” Rose Cross: Circle Dance teacher and regional event organizer “Written in an interview style which provides the feeling of being in a conversation. My favourite part was about teaching children, as it is always a big task to keep them engaged. Stefan also talks about mental health, with nuggets of knowledge from his 38 years of teaching dancing. Excellent work.” Brant Bambery: Findhorn Community dance teacher / coordinator. |

“Stefan is both wordsmith and visionary. What delighted me was his obvious grasp of the dynamics of breakdown in both the health of the individual and in global societies. A unique study on the transformative power of dance, combining artistry and enlightenment, wisdom and understanding. A wonderful gift to all those working towards seeding a better future.”
