Dancing Minds Sean Connolly

Dancing Minds gives an insight into the level of mental strength required by those whose chosen passion in life is Irish step dance. In this book, Sean Connolly recounts the dancing tales of dancers and teachers from many regions throughout the world. He invites them to share their experiences, and the encounters are honest and refreshing. Each contributor adds their own colour and real-life experience of being an Irish dancer or teacher. The book also celebrates the many dancers who against all odds, have overcome many challenges and disabilities to achieve their dancing dreams. To be an Irish dancer, you need to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and with a certain spirituality, if you want to last the pace. All dancers are on a journey, and the podium is but one destination- there are many views and encounters along the way.
