A must read book about ballroom dancers and competitors. Fascinating fictional and non fictional profiles of all types of dancers. A inside peek to what is really going on within DanceSport and Dance Studios. This book makes this site look like Sunday School.

Hey, at least we are arguing about dancing, rather than if painting oneself tan is a racist act...

Read it as long as you remember that it's just a standard academic ploy to take something that is basically common sense--that dancing (like any other activity) can fill lots of different emotional needs for lots of different people--and make a big whoop-de-doo as though the writer invented the idea!

She's basically talking about her own experience as a naive college student who turned pro thinking she would be world champ and got a bad case of sour grapes when that didn't happen. Not all of us dancers are so deluded.
