Dance Your Way Home: A Journey Through the Dancefloor

Dance Your Way Home is a compelling invitation to embrace the dance floor. As the Financial Times aptly notes, it's a "clarion call" to move. But this book goes beyond simply urging us to dance; it explores the very essence of why we dance together.

Throughout her life, Emma Warren has sought answers to these fundamental questions, whether on the dance floors of 80s clubs, in the lively atmosphere of Irish dancehalls, or within the vibrant spaces of youth centres. In this insightful work, she reveals how dancing forms an integral part of our personal narratives – from childhood memories of dancing on adults' feet to its power to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers.

Warren's writing celebrates every facet of movement, from the hesitant steps of the novice dancer to the unbridled joy of losing oneself in the rhythm. As Giles Peterson observes, this book offers "a fast track in understanding the secret formula that brings on collective euphoria through music and dance," a formula that Warren brilliantly unpacks. Wendy Erskine praises it as "a wonderful book so full of knowledge, love and joy," and that spirit shines through on every page. This book speaks directly to the core of what compels us to move, wherever and whenever that may be.
