Dance for your Life

I am delighted that Sue has written this book highlighting how dance gives us so much in our lives. Anne Walker MBE: Businesswoman, dance teacher, speaker, mentor & best-selling author. I have known Sue Hewgill Peterson for more than thirty years as a colleague and teacher of great distinction and accomplishment. I am delighted that she brings her great love and knowledge of dance to inform this book, incorporating the joy of movement and offering a liberation of mind and body to its readers. No matter what the readers' dance interest or knowledge may be, here is richness and inspiration. Sandra Burnham, Examiner of the Royal Academy of Dance - Monterey, California, U.S.A. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED READING Dance for your Life . Your observations in the book are all the things that anyone can relate to. I liked seeing the different illustrations, they are inspiring. I could go on and on. This book is my Bible Kathi Doepfner, Florida, USA, who attends adult ballet class. An amazing book. Throughout, passion, enthusiasm, and professionalism shine through. Your great wealth of experience and expertise add weight to a very important part of life affecting everyone and every aspect - personal, work, relationships, family. We need all the ammunition we can get to prevent government and education policy makers debasing and pushing the arts into their 'frivolous' category. The arts are essential to life. Movement is key to learning. Lynn Gregory MA, educator and trainer, mentor, public speaker, consultant. I firmly believe that we need dance now more than ever. We need to find ways of bringing people together again, of improving their mental and physical health and of celebrating what it means to be alive. To dance is to live. Dance does all of this and more. This book demonstrates to teachers all over the world that they are not only teaching their own dance genre but they are also giving their pupils so many hidden transferable life skills. Through teaching dance we're creating lifelong behaviours, mindsets and passions. Dance widens access to the benefits and wellbeing that this incredible artform can offer everyone.
