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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTackling 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.\u003ci\u003e And Then We Danced\u003c\/i\u003e “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” (\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49347258548528,"sku":"10cfze","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347258482992,"sku":"BDcfze","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cfze-cover.jpg?v=1758572110","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cfze","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
