Rahimi, A:

"The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing." - James Brown

From the fire-lit circles of ancient ritual to the polished stages of modern performance, dance has always been more than movement. It is celebration, protest, healing, memory, and spirit.

In this powerful exploration of dance across time and cultures, discover how movement shapes and reflects humanity. From the Sufi whirling of Iran to the fierce unity of the Dabke, from ballet's royal roots to the expressive freedom of dance therapy, this book unveils the stories our bodies tell.

Whether performed for gods, healing, storytelling, protest, or joy-dance connects individuals and communities in ways that transcend language and borders.

Inside, you'll explore:

The sacred origins of ritual dances

Cultural identities expressed through traditional movements

The political and spiritual power of dance in the Middle East

The therapeutic role of dance in mental and emotional healing

Global traditions from Bedouin hair dances to Bharatanatyam narratives

DANCE is a tribute to human resilience, creativity, and connection-a moving chronicle of our shared heritage.
